Japanese lacks a glottal stop before leading vowels, hence "en" being transliterated "yen" and other holdouts before romanization was more or less standardized. English, on the other hand, usually has them and this comes through particularly in words like "aoi".
Nasal, terminal 'n' as independent mora is something also completely lacking in English. Also, where and when an internal "n" is pronounced "m", such as "monbu", or devoiced, such as "ren'ai".
Rising and falling intonations; the difference between "ame" (rain) and "ame" (candy), and "hashi" (bridge） and "hashi" (chopsticks).
"Shi" is not actually pronounced with the "sh" of English, hence the transliteration "si" and "syi" - it's between "she" and "see".
...I could go on. But honestly, if one is of the opinion that r/l is the "only" sound Japanese has that English doesn't, I must concur that their Japanese is... uh... suspect. To say the least.
