We are all familiar with the idea that Japan can go to great lengths when it comes to certain matters. They are the kind of country that, at any time of day or night, has no hesitation in going to another stage of development. Creating something as amazing as an indoor beach might make some of us think twice, however, this is real. In a real sense, this indoor beach continues to exist and contains real sand and also real plants and trees which build a lovely inside environment.  

Indoor Beach

Capsule Beds

We wonder as well as how economically efficient things could get. Is efficiency the only thing we will bear in mind or do we have other issues to take into consideration, such as comfort or space? In fact, the comfort of some people is much different from ours. This hotel has an incredible invention for its clients, which is the capsule bed. Strangely enough, people actually pay decent cash for a stay in this hotel where there are only a capsule and not a room.  

Capsule Beds

Unattended Grocery Stores

These days in which we live do not incorporate trustworthy individuals. However many people will always try to take advantage of us to fulfill their own needs and wants. There are, nonetheless, people who also simply believe in other people’s righteousness.   

Unattended Grocery Stores

Melons with Characters on Them

We know that Japan offers different shapes and sizes for just about everything, but now even when it comes to fruit or vegetables, they have started offering different shapes and sizes. That’s right. They have begun growing other fruits or vegetables in cases that will turn them into various forms. They also have melons that somehow have drawn characters on them. Simply giving a Hello Kitty melon to your little one can bring your child lots of happiness.

Bathroom Slippers

Most of us have more love for shoes than other things. A lot of citizens also have a whole method of arranging and caring for their slippers and sneakers. Japan has exclusive release shoes with a hefty price or those that can only be sold at limited sales. That implies that you can’t risk your expensive shoes to be in the shower. However, you can now use bathroom slippers kudos to certain clever people in Japan. Also, such slippers are to be used in the bathroom only. Since this is considered by many to be the filthiest part of the house, even when it is freshly cleaned. So now, you no longer have to worry.

Dog Grooming Models

Just like other new habits that have developed in recent years, grooming our dogs is becoming increasingly more complex. There are even dog grooming competitions which offer the most well-groomed dogs rewards. There is also a new and emerging phenomenon in Japan that’s focused on giving your precious pet’s fur geometric shapes. If you haven’t seen a poodle cut into a square shape from its fur, then there’s no better opportunity than now.

This is not just beneficial for your body but it can also improve your breathing. And furthermore, your hands will no longer get sore.

Toe Stretcher

Toes can indeed be a problem for many people or rather athletes who keep their shoes on for a long time. In fact, wearing shoes for lengthy stretches of time will hurt your feet, causing them to appear unusually close to one another. A great invention introduced to us by the Japanese is a small device which is called a toe stretcher. You just place it between your toes and it provides the normal space between them that your toes should have.

Fruit Shaping Tools

In addition to the photos that are taken from those other fruits on melons, the Japanese also have specific containers in which they grow fruit or vegetables. Have you ever wondered whether a cucumber could shape like a star? Well, it could. In Japan growing fruit and vegetables in various forms has become quite the phenomenon. Seeing heart-shaped watermelons or star-shaped cucumbers, these days is not something that baffles most people. In Japan, there are whole harvests such as these, and we absolutely adore them.

Regular maintenance can become a major problem in your home. It is a ritual for us all to keep our house or apartment clean and secure.

Cool Down With No Blades and No Sound

The bladeless fan is an innovation that has taken the world by storm and has recently become very widely known. Yet this technology has been around in Japan since 1981, contrary to popular belief. Toshiba invented the initial idea. The design features an internal fan operating in the base as would a compressor. It then funnels the air into the ring ‘s small exits, which improves the natural airflow and provides fast winds that refresh the area.

Cool Down With No Blades and No Sound

Walking Fridge

The walking fridge is one of the latest technological advances to emerge from Japan. It is a smart device with the ability to walk at the order of its owner. It’s also able to report its inventory status, allowing it to inform you if you run low on any products. Panasonic produces the walking fridge and it is a product that may soon be applied to today’s smart homes. It responds to voice command, and can even help put dirty dishes back into the kitchen.

Push Notification Glasses

For all of those who came into existence with a smartphone in their hands, this cool little creation is for you. So now you can receive push notifications and warnings without touching your phone with this Japanese innovation. Such ambient lenses use a connection to your smartphone and LED lighting, enabling you to view your phone notifications right in front of your eyes. Even though you still have to get access to your phone to type out, in a social situation or even at work, it can be incredibly useful.

Mini Washing Machine

It might sound odd to create a tabletop with a USB, mini washing machine unless Tinker Bell is residing in your desk drawer. Some may expect this is not a must-have product, but for the Japanese, it is. For which reason is it used? In actuality, it’s much simpler than you would think. It was created for people who work in dirty and dusty areas and who need to clean their glasses in a matter of minutes. It is also possible to wash bands of watches and other small objects.

No Stress Bubble Wrap Keyring

To individuals, this unusual yet satisfying innovation was designed to alleviate stress. And it is a  bubble wrap chained to a key holder, that’s it. Notice how pleasing the bubbles are to pop on the bubble wrap? if it does, it’s just because it helps you to feel both the sensations and the sound effects of the bubble popping. The only thing is that it’s endless. There are also Otaku versions that make anime character voice sounds.

No Stress Bubble Wrap Keyring

Noodle-Cooling Fan Chopsticks

Seeing as the Japanese knew the only eating utensils they always use were chopsticks, they modified the design by adding a USB – powered fan to the stick base. This helps you to cool down your noodles while you eat, and have no need to blow up on them. It’s not only more effective and efficient but also some chopsticks have embedded thermometers to warn you if the food is too hot. Though it’s a simple idea, Japan’s restaurants have experienced wide popularity. 

Noodle-Cooling Fan Chopsticks

Rain Indicator

Japan has also one of the most fascinating things you could come into contact with in Osako, one of the most useful inventions that are often seen in elevators. Elevator builders thought it wise to add umbrella warning lights that turn on when it’s raining since Osako experiences high rainfall throughout the year. Noise is drastically reduced in hotels and other buildings. So this forewarning is used to alert patrons and guests if they go outside and if they forgot to bring their umbrella along as a reminder.

Rain Indicator

A Dedicated Gaming Seat

This innovation would be a personal favorite for all those out there PUBG addicts. The integrated gaming seat design allows it to fold and rotate to accommodate various positions, all based on video gaming in front of the TV. If you want to lay back it can give back comfort. Even, if you are too interested in the game to take it easy it can be twisted around and used as an armrest. For all those PlayStations that are made in the country, it is certainly worth every penny you have.

Umbrellas With Color-Changing Moisture-Activated Prints

You will come across thousands of umbrellas in Japan. It’s true that Japan is experiencing plenty of rainfall, so it’s no exaggeration to say that it’s also the place where you’ll find better quality umbrella designs and lockers. Since all designs had become somewhat uninteresting, needless to say, the Japanese thought it was good to spice up things. These umbrellas all seem pretty simple until they get wet, then either they change color, or they reveal prints and patterns that could not otherwise be seen when dry.

Umbrellas With Color-Changing Moisture-Activated Prints

The Exosuit

An even more glorious Japanese invention and highly rated for its value is none other than the Exosuit. Anyone can wear this gadget to help enhance their natural strength. The machine control muscles and offers extra support to the wearer’s skeletal structure to boost their ability to lift heavy objects in a literal sense. We are waiting to see how real that really is. But since it’s a $5,000 standard price, we think it won’t be shipping out that quickly. It might, that being said, become the most desired innovation for the supply companies.

The Exosuit

Cat Face Mask

We’ve heard of cat-ear headbands and cat-tail pants before, but now we’ve got another case of going beyond your imagination. Cat face masks are increasingly popular in Japan and are primarily used by adolescents and children. You fit it perfectly into your face and make you look like some kind of cat, which can be a bit disturbing. But it can be enjoyable too. I bet a musical about Cats will look truly spectacular with these masks.

Cat Face Mask

Canned Food Bar

Welcome to the bar where you canned out all your cooking demands. That’s right, you are reading that correctly. A canned food bar has popped up amongst the current trends or otherwise different types of stores in Japan. You can choose from a very wide variety of meals and they’re all canned. If you are the type of person who enjoys canned food, you should visit this bar at least once in your life.

Head Umbrella

People living in Japan have to go through quite a few umbrellas, due to the frequent rainfall. With that being said it makes sense why this head umbrella was first invented. While this may not be the most stunning headwear, this umbrella certainly does the trick — as long as you don’t mind looking dorky at all. This product is extremely useful in any type of situation. Yet, ask yourself, what is the greatest feature? Well, that is obviously completely hands – free!

Head Umbrella

Selfie Stick With Integrated Mic

Keep in mind that the first selfie stick was invented in Japan, so we are not at all shocked that this new and improved model has emerged with them. Since the Japanese tend to use selfie sticks to record videos of singing by themselves, it also makes sense why this new version has a built-in microphone. That critical design flaw, which may not have been obvious to some, is now a thing of the past thanks to this great nation’s people!

Selfie Stick With Integrated Mic

Butter Grater

We know what you think— doesn’t the cheese graters still exist, why did they invent something like that? Well, why wouldn’t they? If we’re honest here, we all had those moments when we forgot to take the butter out of the refrigerator to melt before spreading it over a piece of toast, so you’re faced with the tedious task of spreading cold butter over your sandwich. However, due to this helpful breakthrough, you can now easily butter your toast and feel totally at ease.

Butter Grater

Baby Cleaning Onesie

We ‘re not trying to be disrespectful— but after we first saw this baby cleaning onesie we had a pretty good laugh. It’s really a brilliant idea after some time getting used to it though. It’s also no mystery that, in Japanese culture, responsibility is a deep-rooted principle. That being said, it is likely that every family member must pull their weight, and children are no exception to this. This onesie device leaves the floors spick and spans even though it seems extremely bizarre! In spite of the fact that these rascals crawl all over the floor anyway, why not give them a helping hand for a great benefit?

Baby Cleaning Onesie

Umbrella Tie

This is a tie… and an umbrella. Although this device will place a certain amount of stress on your neck, it is worth the pain because you are confident you will never be wet in the rain anymore. After all, you know what they say about “beauty is pain.” To be fair, this product may not be the most desirable, but given the quantity of rain that comes from Japan, there is no doubt that these types of inventions are very useful.

Umbrella Tie

Cubic Sound-Catching Pillow

You remember those times when you watch TV and all you want to do is lie on your side, but if you do that, you ‘re going to compromise half of what you’re hearing? Thank goodness, the wonderful people of Japan came up with a clever solution to this problem. This cubic pillow can be easily spread without worrying about sounds that get muffled or distorted when you watch your favorite film or tv show!

Cubic Sound-Catching Pillow

Square Watermelon

This next one might creep a few of you out. We all are quite used to having small watermelons, to put it simply. Square watermelons originated in Japan almost a decade ago— and they’ve also figured out a way to produce heart-shaped watermelons afterward. In any case, it turns out that the cubic shape actually makes both packaging and transporting these watermelons simpler. You think, how do they grow like this? Sure, while the watermelon on the vine is still small enough, a square glass box is set around it.

Square Watermelon

Hearing Enhancer

Okay, well maybe this one is a little less than realistic. It doesn’t really seem like this would be the most comfortable of headpieces generally speaking. This Japanese product, called the Ear Enhancer, is equipped with what looks like bowls that improve the hearing’s range and accuracy. This idea has actually worked to most clients, so it doesn’t seem to get in the way at all. Yeah, if you’re the kind of person that thinks hearing aids are just too quiet, you may want to indulge in that outlandish creation.

Hearing Enhancer

Rain-Proof Umbrella

Oh yes, guys! We have a completely rainproof umbrella here— you know, for those days when a normal umbrella is just not enough! However, if we’re completely frank, the idea doesn’t make a lot of sense. Just because we have noted that during some seasons Japan experiences heavy rainfall, this innovation may be a little too irrelevant for its own good. Common umbrellas do their job already by protecting you from the sky, so why exactly do you need a translucent plastic tarp too?

Rain-Proof Umbrella

Battlescratch Shirt

Nothing is worse than feeling that itch that you just can’t reach yourself at a position on your back. You then end up asking a mate, realizing that you’re going to have to guide them to that particular spot which can be a real struggle. And yet, thanks to this Battleship-Esque tee, you can now easily guide your friend to the right place on your back when you’ve got an itch you just can’t seem to address. So clever yet so easy!

Battlescratch Shirt

Book-Shaped Pillow

We don’t know about you guys however this product screams to us “COLLEGE!” “If you’ve ever been to university, you totally know what it’s like to spend days at the end of the week studying in the library. While some students prefer to go home after a long day of hitting the books for the night, others don’t want to lose an ounce of time. Fortunately, this book-shaped pillow is the perfect accompaniment for the night. Simply unfold it or open it like a book and a voila— you can lay your head to bed peacefully now!

Book-Shaped Pillow

Motorcycle Helmet With a Ponytail Hole

Calling all the ladies, and any long-haired guys! Because there’s now a line for bikers who like putting their hair up when they are on their motorcycle during a ride. There’s really no space or leeway inside to accommodate a whole ponytail with typical helmets. But you’ll never have to think about such a thing again with this bike helmet though. Really just put your hair up as you would normally do before you insert that whole chunk of hair through the helmet hole.

Motorcycle Helmet With a Ponytail Hole

Cleaning Shoes

Well, folks— you’re indeed looking at a pair of slip-on shoes with a broom and dustpan attached to the head. And while these flats may be a bit of an insult to fashion, if you’re just wearing them around your residence, they ‘re very functional. After noticing some dirt on the floor, we can not count how many times we’ve had to grab the broom and dustpan from behind the fridge. With that being said with this brilliant creation, you can brush practically as you go…

Cleaning Shoes

Stand & Sleep Apparatus

There really are people who can rest no matter where they are. Some even stand firm and still fall asleep! This stand-and-sleep apparatus is perfect for those of you who have a lot of difficulties, contrary to popular belief! And there’s nothing worse than ending a long day at the workplace and stepping on the subway just to know every seat is being filled. However, with this invention, you can now find yourself in a completely upright position and still take a little nap without having to stress about falling over other commuters.

Stand & Sleep Apparatus

Rain-Harvesting Umbrella

From a theoretical perspective, we completely comprehend why this umbrella was invented for rain harvesting. Collecting rainwater for home use and landscaping is after all a good way to save money and conserve water. But again, on the other hand, the execution of this technology does not seem as though it had been fully thought out. We mean, you ‘re basically lugging around a container full of rainwater throughout the day until you can actually get home and put it somewhere. However, considering how innovative this product is, we are confident that somewhere the people of Japan will come up with an even better solution…

Rain-Harvesting Umbrella

Easy Open Drinks Cans

Soda cans are so hard to open, and even more so if you have super-short or thin, fake nails. Fortunately, a can has been discovered in Japan which has a small gap so the finger can get under. This will enable you to lift the tab easily and to open your soda without caring about chipping or damaging your nails.

Easy Open Drinks Cans

Vending Machines

Despite the fact that vending machines are not a new invention, the way they are used in Japan can certainly be considered an invention or perhaps a novelty. Much like the rest of us, they started with sugary beverages, however, at the moment, Japan has vending machines for just about everything. Imagine getting your fresh groceries from vending machines, magazines, or even clothes. Citizens are already doing this in Japan and they don’t have to try to visualize it.

Vending Machines

Face Trainer

This little device about stimulating the facial muscles was created. This is quite fascinating really, isn’t it? While we ‘re used to our huge gym trainers who aren’t even able to turn around due to their muscles, a small device can train our face muscles just as effectively. If you’re the type of person who is using your face muscles a lot, it’s a great invention. For actors, singers, and other kinds of people who stretch their faces every single day, it can be beneficial.

Face Trainer

Fish-shaped Ice Cream Cone

Everyone knows Japan is famous for its cuisine. You can find a lot of Japan ‘s greatest and also strangest food recipes. They also come up with all sorts of great innovations every day alongside all their traditional food recipes. Imagine enjoying ice cream cones in different sizes and shapes. What about eating a cone with ice cream shaped like a fish? This is one of the most fascinating inventions we have seen yet.

Japanese Scream Jar

If you are mad but you don’t really know what to do with it? And you can’t find a good way to let out your anger? This breakthrough will provide you with the relaxation you need. The scream jar is a great invention designed to help you unleash all that frustration in one go. It is built especially so that the sound doesn’t come out.
