#Dai-yokujo - It refers to bath at a hotel, it may or may not be onsen i.e. containing special minerals.

Vending Machines – Almost Everywhere!
Japan has a reputation for the weirdest and most wonderful vending machines. Japan has one of the highest vending machine densities in the world. They can be found in huge numbers in train stations and on street corners all around the city. A restaurant in Tokyo has installed a vending machine at the front of its shop that it regularly fills with burgers. If you have no time to order, simply drop in some coins and be rewarded with a fresh burger. A majority of these machines sell non-alcoholic beverages such as soft drinks, juice, energy drinks etc for a fairly reasonable price.
