Futuristic new tech unique to Japan. Do they still get cool stuff before we do?

>Dunno what--autonomous vehicles, Virtual Reality center arcades,
I'm afraid it's to late, but there are some virtual reality game arcade.

Draft beer pouring bot at NRT JAL lounge
The coolest tech I saw was a draft beer pouring machine in the JAL Sakura lounge at NRT. You put the glass in, hit start, and the glass is tilted several times during the process resulting in the perfect pour. I want one!
Took video and will try to remember to post next week.

Nothing futuristic, sorry. My favorite place and experience in Tokyo was the Meiji Shrine at Harajuku Station. Very tranquil at the time I went.

Seeing a few "front" packs (as opposed to backpacks).
Thought about that a bit, and it makes sense in a couple of ways:
1) access to items without taking the pack off
2) can sit down on the train/subway without taking the pack off
Not so sure on weight distribution though - but for maybe less than 10 pounds of weight I'd consider using one on my next trip; it would provide easy access to cameras and the like.
