Slimline Vending Machines in Kichijoji's Harmonica Alley

One of my favorite places in Kichijoji is Harmonica Alley. It is a labyrinth of alleyways, known as Yokocho in Japanese. It is very photogenic for anyone into street photography. I am not a photographer, but I appreciate a good alleyway for its charm as much as its photogenic quality. 

I particularly love how much there is to see in Harmonica Alley. And every time I visit, I spot something different that I never noticed before. Like these vending machines. I have seen them before, but I only noticed on my last visit that they are slimline. A perfect size for a narrow alley.

Unfortunately, as you can see, they have been graffitied. Overall, I did notice a lot more graffiti in general in Kichijoji on my past visit. Although common in my home country, it is a sight I am not used to in Japan as in my own area of Saitama, it is very rare to come across graffiti. Despite the graffiti though, these vending machines still look nifty!

Have you seen slimline vending machines like these before?
