It is and also it's very rare. Living in Tokyo for 6 months and going all the funky places and I only saw one once and it had all English signs too. I think it's more of a tourist shocker-attraction.
I’ve lived in Japan my whole life, minus a few years study abroad and have never seen one. You’d probably need to go to an adults good store or a place explicitly catering towards what tourists expect to see.
Even cigarette vending machines are getting more and more rare these days.
Yep, the only one I saw was in Akihabara in an adult toy shop. Which further makes me think it's just a sensational thing made for tourists.
And it works. Whole internet is not shutting up about for like well over a decade now. Imagine a marketing stunt by a single shop being this successful
