Top 20 Genius Inventions That STILL Exist ONLY in Japan 

The beer cans and Sink over toilet tank is super idea and should apply all over the world.

I lived in Japan for 4 years...it was awesome

In Australia we have those sauce packets literally every where.

I want one of those hand basin toilets. They should make and sell them everywhere, make it the standard toilet

The toilet sink, diagonal crosswalks, and the squeezable sauce packets have been in Australia for over 20 years.

So how do we get these easy open beer cans introduced in America??

“Imagine your pants don’t have any pockets” Welcome to the life of every female ever

Wash basin on flush of toilet seat is most usefull and ecofriendly

We've had those sauce packets here in Australia for as long as I can remember.

when you use an extremely popular kpop group as an example of how slim japanese women are..

“Without any worry of having to physically communicate.” I was DYING!🤪

The chopsticks one was my favourite. It's really practical

Those helmets would never pass dot standards

We have #19 in Australia, very common. They're called scramble crossings. It actually started in the US but fell out of favour there because reasons. The way they work is very simple, instead of two cycles at the lights there are three - x traffic, y traffic, and pedestrians. Pedestrians almost never cross at the same time cars do at these intersections, because every direction for pedestrians goes green at the same time. Pedestrians use the entire intersection to cross the road, so they can get to any side of the intersection from any other, in one go. It's very efficient and works very well. Doesn't annoy drivers at all, because drivers do not need to wait for a pedestrian to cross the road for the driver to turn left/right, for example.

Number 7 is not only in Japan. We have those sauce packets in Australia too.

I feel like Japan is living in the future with this lol But seriously, all of these or almost all should be around the world!

We have diagonal crosswalks here at the University of Akron. They only use them between 8.30am and 5pm on weekdays

We do have toilets with sinks attached almost exactly like the one you showed in the video, we have them in prison cells.

The wallet tie and umbrella tie are honestly shit inventions.

Can’t find vending matching with chips in Japan: “That’s probably the reason why the girls are so thin.” SHOW PHOTO OF KOREAN GIRLS😉

Toronto Canada has a diagonal crossing spot. It is quite convenient.

In the diagonal crossing thing...why can’t they cross the other diagonal way...

London has diagonal crossings too 😊

#6 - Most doctors would agree that removing earwax is *not* a good idea.

A hole in a helmet... Doesn't that make the helmet weaker around the area where the hole is?

They're have been diagonal crosswalks in Denver for years.

That's why I love visiting Japan! 🇯🇵🇯🇵

The chopstick is really genius!

That toilet sink thing would be great. I've got a tiny toilet room in my home which was built before a change in regulations, which means I can no longer get a sink in there. And that annoys me greatly. But replacing the existing loo with one of these would be ideal - no more traipsing across the landing with post toilet hands hoping the bathroom isn't occupied! GET THESE IN BRITAIN!!!* * Unless they already exist, in which case, tell me where I can get my hands on one.

Those sauce packets are lit!! Also those toilets could really benefit the world

Can't stop laughing at the tie umbrella and the ear wax remover.

We have those sauce packets in Australia. It makes it easier to get our tomato sauce on our meat pies.

'Spa on a train', Samuel L. Jackson's next film.

Those sauce packets been in australia 40 years, though only single flavour in each , not seen a duel sauce yet.

What you're probably unaware of with the "basin toilet" is that the drain from the basin actually goes directly into the bowl of the toilet and not the tank. caroma make these in Australia and they're a good space saving idea but the soap from washing your hands would damage the flushing mechanism and so isn't actually reused

Lmao the chopstick one. Simple but amazing.

Number 13. Those 'slim girls' are not japanese. They're the Girl's Generation. A korean girlband group. But yes, most japanese are slim. But at least if you want to get some pictures to represent your facts, at least get them right :)

The diagonal crosswalk has been in the US for at least 15 years.

There is the diagonal street crosses in SF too

The sink over the toilet thing is really really good!! Every country should adopt the idea to save water

Japan is weirdest country but has originality.

Roses are red Violetts are blue There is always an asian Who is better than you 😂

The sauce packets and the chopsticks were pretty neat, but the sink in the toilet should also definitely be a thing

*Take a shot every time he says: Whilst 😂👍🏻✌🏻

Dino check in , Yes Please .

7:54 ...uh... kilometers? you just lost us Yanks!

The sink over toilet tank is brilliant.

At the tie thing... yeah because I want to keep scissors wrapped around my neck haha

I would love to see a dinosaur as a receptionist, specially a T-Rex

Toilet sinks would be great in tiny homes

I've spent a fair amount of time living in Japan. The vending machines and washlets are a huge improvement over what you'll find in the U.S. They've also got massively better infrastructure, so internet is both lightning fast and dirt cheap. The only other thing mentioned in this video that's sort of nice are the sauce packets. I'm surprised they're not in the states.

That squeeze sauce dispenser is actually an Australian invention.

1:35 What the heck is wrong with this guy? “The worst thing that can happen is getting interrupted by a store clerk saying, “can I help you”” I don’t see anything wrong there, only good I see there.

7:25 "Spa on train...." - Then immediately shows pic of Russian train-carriage!

Not only in Japan, I have my own Ukihashi chopsticks, and I lie in Texas.

3:28 oof those being back some memories...

Perhaps you should have called it 20 items not in America, slightly more accurate..

We need some of theses inventions!

The speaker pillow is in the US. That’s been around for years.

You can only get sushi ninjas in Japan.

Diagonal crosswalks exist in Canada too.

Just wanna point out that the girls in 3:41 is actually Korean. Famous K-Pop group SNSD or girls generation and they aren’t Japanese haha

“Genius inventions” *kids dying over a SpongeBob mini figure*

Definitely need a velociraptor receptionist in the next hotel I go to!

3:40 That's Girls Generation, SNSD, GG? Korea's number one girl group. Sone here. Haha but yea their Koreans not Japanese but its okay tho nice vid. Haha

They have diagonal cross walks in California, I'm not amazed...

why wouldn't my pants have pockets? I would be an imbecile if I bought a pants without pockets LMAO

Japan is an introvert's paradise

Australia also has those sauce packets

Canada has diagonal crosswalks in Banff Alberta

The toilet sink is also popular in Taiwan. I'm not sure about other Asian countries, though...

My friend went to japan and bought socks out of a vending machine and it gave him 1 sock lol

There's diagonal crosswalks in Australia dude

I saw number 12 in Mexico so that is not only japan. And number 11 in Italy. And number 8 in Australia.

I loved that water saving hack....

you forgot a device that can talk to cats

Diagonal crossing paths exist in a lot of places though.. we've got them in Toronto, and pretty sure there are some in NYC as well as many other places lol

I am not amazed what r u going to do about it

No one uses: Ponytail helmet, Silent Karaoke, Auto Store, butter grater, Tie wallet, remote mop, etc... etc.... Go to Japan and find out what's real.

I want all of them! 🤤

I have found number 8 in England

The funny thing is no.7 is in Australia 😂😂😂

The sink on top of the toilet makes lots of sense. Also when you clean your sink, you can use the same solution to clean the toilet after a quick flush. A 2 for 1 use the cleaning solution.

Creps? Is that when a crip takes a crap? Crepes, sounds like grapes.

3:41 Those are Koreans...

Australia has most of these aswell

The pic of the video reminded me of jail lol

The washbasin attached to the flush tank is super

We've had number 19 in Toronto Canada for years now

I hate these kind videos/articles/news about Japan, they always give a very distorted view on the country (in positive and negative ways). 3/4 of the things whown here are not a thing in Japan. While they may have been invented and sold at some point, I'm quite sure very few people got them or used them back then, and for sure they're not a thing at all right now. There are MANY things way more common (and as amusing) than most of the things shown here. 20-NEVER seen one in the streets nor sold in stores. 19-True one (I think there are other places in the wolrd with these tho) 18-Never heard of anything like that, and anyway, karaoke (as in, going to karaoke places to sing with friends) is such a big thing in Japan, that nobody has a machine in their own house. 17-Never seen an automated store, while there may be one or a few in Tokyo (maybe), this is totally NOT a thing in Japan. 16-Never seen one, and I honestly don't even understand the need of grating butter. 15-One of those stupid invention that make people laugh and nobody actually ever buy/use. Never seen one in real life here. 14-The can one is true. 13-Vending machines are indeed everywhere, but they're mostly for drinks. While I've rarely seen more interesting ones (like with beer, ice creams, snacks (which are indeed rare in Japan), bullshit like eggs or underwear falls into the "there is maybe one or two in Tokyo and that's it" category. 12-Capsule hotels are a thing, and are reasonably spread. The thing is, they don't cost less than normal hotels. So personally, I really don't understand the usefulness. 11-Parking lots for umbrellas is a thing (umbrellas are one of the very few things that you risk being stolen in Japan). 10-The controlled mop....never seen or heard of one, and the reason is probably because it's such a stupid idea nobody ever wanted one in the first place. 9-Never heard of it. 8-Finally a real one. This is indeed in basically every toilet in Japan. 7-Mh. While there may be these things somewhere, I don't really see what's so amazing about this. 6-There is a big culture about cleaning wax from your own (or your partner's) ears in Japan. They usually use a long wooden stick with a little spoon at one end, and a fluffy ball on the other end. Never used one because I come from a country where doctors highly discourage cleaning your own ears because of the big risks involved. That being said, I've never seen such a machine, and again, while it may be true it exsists, doesn't mean it's an actual "thing" in Japan. 5-Moving train seats are an actual thing. Trains in usually arrive to the last station, and then go back without being turned. So they're used to make people always face the direction the train is going. Never seen seats that rotate towards windows, I guess that if there are some, they're in more exclusive trains. 4-Never seen those chopsticks. They look and sound stupid. Definitely not a thing. 3-Another of those "maybe one or two in the whole country" things. 2-This is even more stupid than the wallet tie one. Are you telling me you would actually use such a stupid gadget? Never seen one, never will. 1-Most love hotels don't require any human interaction to protect people from embarassment. Normal hotels are not like that. No, you won't find robots or raptors in hotels in Japan.

I liked the wax remover, chop sticks, moving seat in 🚆

The remote mop makes japanese kids to clean their room too, because they can think that the mop is a racing car

5:52 is awesome !

I’m amazed that this channel doesn’t have more subs.

every sink should be like that

Ukihashi Chopsticks are easier then most people think to get here haha

You're wrong about introverts. We don't hate associating with people, we're just not very outgoing. It's not like we're total social outcasts that coop up by ourselves all day.

There ear w2ax one is a bad idea. Removing all your ear wax leads to ear infections.

The capsule hotels are really amazing! It was a great stay and cheap too when I went!

The cube tube hotel system is superb
