Want to park your car on a Tokyo street? Well, the best thing to do is - forget it! Parking on streets is banned with the exception of few metered spaces, which have 60 minutes time limit. Besides, good luck leaving it there all night as any car parked on the street after 3am gets towed away! That's why, to own a car in Japan’s large cities you have to prove you have access to a parking space.
