There are two numerical systems in the Japanese language. The ichi, ni, san system, and the hitotsu, futatsu, mittsu system. The ichi-system is used with counters such as -ji which indicates the time.

The hitotsu-system is used independently without counters.

You can use the hitotsu-system without bothering with different counters for different objects, except for people, time and money.
