A hydrogen rich water generator includes a container, a hydrogen input, a dividing tube, a vibrator, and a cover. The container is used for containing water and comprises an opening and an inner wall. The hydrogen input is one-piece formed on the inner wall of the container and interconnects the inside and the outside of the container. The dividing tube is configured in the container and connected to the hydrogen input. The vibrator is used for vibrating the water. The cover is configured on the opening of the container wherein when the cover is removed, the water can be added or hydrogen rich water can be taken out. The vibrator of the creation can assist the hydrogen micro bubbles mixed with the water well to generate hydrogen rich water and humidified hydrogen.
