Hoko (宝庫) means ‘treasure house’ in Japanese. We started with one simple idea — that students shouldn’t have to leave campus at 10pm just to get the things they need. Our first machine is placed at Woodside Priory School in Portola Valley, CA, and we’re focused on curating products that actually resonate with our community — especially our international student population. Hoko is more than a vending machine. It’s a little piece of home, available 24/7.

We provide fully managed cashless vending solutions designed specifically for dormitories, boarding schools, and residential communities. Our machines are stocked with carefully selected Asian snacks, instant noodles, and everyday essentials. Students can pay by tap, card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay — no cash needed. We handle all the stocking and maintenance, so your community can enjoy convenient, accessible shopping anytime.
