Unique gas stations

 In Japan, the pipes that deliver gas to the cars hang down from above. This
helps drivers avoid a situation where they can’t reach the gas tank on their car.
The chair that holds your bag
  A bag that always falls off the back of your chair when you hang it there is
one of the most annoying things in the world. Japan has solved this problem
by simply inventing a chair with a special notch in it. Ingenious!
Trains with foot spas

Multi-functional toilets
  The toilets in Japan do more than just serve their basic functions. They quite
literally do everything: help people with disabilities, clean themselves, and even
heat themselves up. It seems the only thing they can’t do is make you
breakfast, though perhaps the Japanese are already planning that as their next
step!
Hotels for those who really want to get enough sleep

Cat cafes
  Cats mean coziness and warmth, and the Japanese know it. That’s why they
opened dozens of cafes that are filled with large numbers of cats.
Vending machines

 Japan is famous for being a country full of vending machines. The most
common kinds are for drinks, but there are also vending machines for hot
foods, candy, ice cream, cigarettes, books, newspapers, umbrellas, and even
adult goods.
Limited edition Kit-Kats

 Japan-limited Kit-Kats are another very popular souvenir among foreign

tourists.
Free tissues handed out on the street

 Seeing people hand out tissues for free on the street is a common sight in
Japan. Companies put their advertisements inside the tissue packaging so
people take them and learn of their products or servies.
Unmanned vegetable stands

 In the Japanese countryside, you can often see unmanned vegetable stalls
where all you do is leave some money and take the produce. Because it's a
sales method that involves a lot of trust in everyone's good consciences, many
foreign tourists are surprised at the sight.
Nose hair cutter
Super umbrella

 When rain is coupled with strong winds, regular umbrellas are basically
useless. The Japanese handled this uncomfortable situation with their typical
grace.
Sleeping in the office

 While in Western world, falling asleep in the office is considered extreme

impedance, earning the person ticking off from his boss, or worse, Japanese
business culture allows the employees who work hard the so called “inemuri” –
napping on the job. Some people even fake inemuri, so that their bosses
believe they are working hard.
The world’s shortest escalator

 The world’s shortest escalator is located in the basement of More’s

Department store in the city of Kawasaki. It has only five steps and is 33 inches
high.
