As temperature continues to drop, we may find ourselves looking for more unique Japanese goods to try before the winter season comes to an end. With the lack of central heating and the need to wait at least 30 minutes until the room gets comfortable after switching on the heater, winters here can easily make you long for something that warms you up instantly.
Luckily in Japan, they’ve invented some of the coolest and most efficient warming products in the world — and they come in all sizes and levels of cuteness. Here is a selection of six must-have goods to help you survive till spring.
The Fem On Tech “Onkyu Petit” from the ATEX Lourdes series might just be your new favorite self-care gadget this year. Having just recently launched on November 20, 2024, this compact and fashionable digital moxibustion device is perfect for those looking to add a little warmth to their daily lives.
The device uses an ultra-thin 0.1mm graphene material that allows it to heat up instantly. It can warm your body effectively even when you’re short on time. It’s simple to use and stays in place with the included adhesive patch. Optional adhesive patches, sold separately, are also available in a fragrance-free or mugwort-scented type, depending on your preference.

Reusable & Rechargeable Electric Kairo
apanese kairo, or self-heating pads, come in all shapes and sizes and are sold across the country at convenience and drug stores for around ¥50 a piece. However, once they’ve been activated and used, you have to bin them as they won’t heat up again. That’s where Smaly’s Reusable Electric Kairo comes in. With two warmth settings—low (45°C) and high (55°C)—you can pick the perfect temperature for any moment. It heats up in just five seconds and has a double-click power feature ensuring it won’t accidentally turn on in your bag when not using it.
The adorable bean-shaped design fits perfectly in your hand, making it easy and comfortable to use. Each hand warmer also comes with a soft, fluffy pouch and a stylish camel-colored strap, making it both practical and easy to carry. When the seasons change, and you no longer need the warmer, it doubles as a portable battery, too!

With this unique invention by Japanese gadget maker Thanko, you’ll never get cold feet again. Put on the dual heater slippers, connect them to your computer or USB plug-in, turn the switch on and then continue surfing the web or working as your feet get toasty.
Don’t worry about them being stuck to your computer or plug-in, though. If you need to detach them to do some house chores, you can easily switch to mobile battery mode. Wear them around as you would ordinary slippers, and they’ll continue to heat your feet! Once they get dirty, put the waterproof cap over the cord and chuck them in the washing machine when needed.
Though on the market for some time now, the most recent model gets an innovative power boost with double carbon heaters applied at the toes that can warm your feet up to 55 degrees Celsius. They’re available in medium and large sizes at most department and online stores.
