That type of bayonet with the cross bolt attachment and the hooked quillion was very common in Europe at the time, plus Britain and Japan had very close military relations, with some cross-fertilization on weaponry. (The Japanese use of Metford rifling is one example.) The early British M1907 bayonet is almost identical to the Type 30 bayonet, and also to Mauser rifle bayonets of the 1890's.
