My first beverage purchase in Japan was a bottle of tea from a vending machine on a train platform while travelling from the airport to the first hotel. I'd heard that vending machines in Japan sold tea. Seeing pop in a vending machine was a bit rare, but every beverage machine had several varieties of tea. Usually the tea was chilled, though some machines offered both hot and cold. In addition to tea, the machines also sold some "health" drinks that had vitamins in them, and something called "Pocari Sweat" that was basically Gatorade only it actually tasted good.
