Parking in Japan

Japan is a beautiful fascinating country with its history, culture and people. Japan is well known as one of greatest and biggest car producers in the world.. With a population of over 130 million people, and limited available land, parking becomes one of the most difficult concepts in Japan, not only for its costly prices, but also for its limited availability (By the law you can't register a car without providing the proof that you possess a parking space whether owned or rented).. Let us see together what the camera may record about parking in Japan, specially that the Japanese are the world masters in space savings and innovating ideas for parking.

A cleverly instructive parking gallery. We've plied the streets of white villages in the mountains of Spain's Andalucía & encounter some "parking moments" which have us holding our breath. But I think I'd be an ardant advocate of public transportation in Tokyo as I don't think I could take the daily stress of parking let alone driving. Once again, a very nice gallery.

OOO. I Think parking and a find wide area to park is very difficult in Japan.
Then i will not come by my car.
Thanks.
