Apart from shakkanhō and the metric system, other units are also commonly used in Japan. The most common unit found is the inch. Inches are used in the following:
- Japanese bicycles are based on a British system, and the tyre sizes are measured in inches rather than centimetres.
- Inch sizes are commonly used in the computer industry for the sizes of parts, connectors, and semiconductor wafers.
- Inches and feet are used for the width and length of magnetic tape.
- Inches are used for the size of television screens. Because inches are not a legally recognized unit in Japan, instead of writing the word "inch", Japanese companies substitute "-gata" (型). Thus, a television with a 17 in diagonal measure is described as 17型.
- The sizes of photographic prints are based on the inch, though rounded to the nearest millimetre.
Other units are also used. For example, food energy is given in kilocalories.
