There are basically four types.

First type: no verification. Usually in hotels and other not so public places and, by law, all cigarette machines should have some form of age verification on them.

Second type: camera verification. You can see this on the alcohol machine to the far right. There is a call button which will connect to some operator who looks at you through the camera and decides if they will allow you to buy.

Third type: Taspo verification. You purchase a Taspo card and use it to verify that you are legally allowed to buy alcohol and cigarettes (most cigarette machines are this).

Fourth type: Drivers Licence verification. If you have a Japanese drivers licence you can use it for verification. Sometimes on cigarette machines but relatively uncommon.

The beer vending machine is awesome because it has a Drivers License reader for age verification and also an intercom so if you don't have a Japanese Drivers License you can press the intercom button to connect to some call center that will then use the camera on the intercom to ascertain that you are of legal age and allow you to buy beer.
