20+ Things in JAPAN That Need to Exist EVERYWHERE...😲

20+ Things in Japan That Need to Exist Everywhere — from futuristic Japanese technology to simple everyday ideas that make life safer, easier and far more interesting. In this episode of Japan Up Close, we explore some of Japan’s smartest inventions, unusual traditions and most incredible food creations. You’ll see robot waiters remotely controlled by workers with disabilities, vending machines designed for emergencies, self-driving wheelchairs in Japanese airports, machines that measure your feet perfectly and technology that lets people pay using only their palm. Japan’s genius ideas are not limited to technology. There are banks designed especially for children, free public bottle-washing machines, personal name stamps used instead of signatures, canned bread, edible coffee cups and restaurants where customers catch their own fish. And then there is the food. From the viral 10-yen cheese pancake to incredibly realistic miniature meals, Japan knows how to turn eating into an experience. Number one may be the wildest of all: a towering Osaka strawberry parfait packed with around 50 strawberries, cream, ice cream and tiny cookie climbers scaling the side like Mount Everest. Some of these Japanese inventions feel years ahead of the rest of the world. Others are so simple and useful that you may wonder why every country has not copied them already.
