The machine, located at the West Exist Event Space, is a collaboration between florists Landflora and Hibiya Kadan Style.

Customers can use a 500 yen coin to see if they will get a fresh bud, flowers that are a third way through bloom, a fifth way through bloom, a seventh way through bloom or full bloom. The flowers are packaged in boxes.

For 800 yen, customers can receive a small base with the flowers.

The flower fortunes come in an air sealed package.
