1.
Turning train seats. You can turn yourself in the direction you're headed, the opposite or just turn your back on the world outside.
2.
A motorcycle helmet with a ponytail hole.
3.
A place to seat a baby in a public bathroom. It’s dangerous to leave the baby alone outside and uncomfortable to take them in with you but this way you can take the baby with you without the need to hold it while you "do your business".
4.
Cafes for lonely hearts. If you feel awkward sitting alone in a cafe, this is an option for you: when you come without any company, the staff will place a soft toy in front of you. Now you’re not alone.
5.
Diagonal crossings. Now you can go where you want and not where they let you.
6.
A tablet holder. This has gotten quite popular and you can thank Japan for this.
7.
Sunglasses for dogs. This invention seems strange at first, but then you realize dogs may not like bright sunlight, just like us.
8.
A “silent” karaoke microphone. If you don’t want to bother others with your singing or are just too shy to sing out loud, this mic will help you out: it muffles your voice so only you can hear it.
9.
A can that is easier to open. It has been made due to popular demand.
10.
Separate slippers for the bathroom. You’ll see such slippers in every home. The Japanese consider their bathroom the dirtiest place in their house, even if it’s clean. They can’t enter it in the same footwear they walk around the rest of the house in. Just think about it.
11.
A cushion for lying down and working at the same time.
12.
Automated stores. If you find it difficult to small talk with the cashier here's the place for you.
13.
A hotel where a robot dinosaur will check you in.
14.
A napkin that covers your face when you eat burgers. To eat a huge burger, you have to open your mouth widely many people are embarrassed by this and avoid the food they love. It may be silly but it works.
15.
A transforming tatami. It’s a tradition in Japan to do everything on the floor: eat, sleep, watch movies. That’s why they designed a mat that you can transform into a laptop holder and a lot more.
16.
Umbrella hanger. You don't have to take your dripping umbrella with you inside.
