the bank of the future...

futuristic bank

Japan's bank machines are something else. They talk to you, the lady on the screen bows and they are quite advanced. Oh, other than the fact that many still only operate during business hours... what the heck is that? Why shut down bank machines? Either way, this is a picture of one of the after hours open Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi ATM corners in Shibuya. It is one of the largest banks of ATM's I have ever seen, they line both sides of the room and I think there must be a total of over 20ATM's. They recently renovated the entire area so the picture doesn't capture it all that well but it looks quite futuristic and spacey in a monotone white sort of way.
