Mapped with photos, field notes, and exact locations. Discover, submit, and verify machines.
Hey Product Hunt, TJ here.
I lived in Tokyo and still go back all the time. One of my favorite things there is grabbing snacks and weird finds from the vending machines on nearly every street corner. Japan has over 4 million of them, but the interesting ones are almost impossible to find unless you stumble on them.
So I built Jihanki Atlas. It's a map where anyone can discover unusual machines and share the ones they find. It's gamified too. You earn rewards for adding new machines or verifying that one is still there.
If you've ever spotted a strange machine in Japan, submit it. And ask me anything about the weirdest ones I've found.
