Parking Lot

This parking lot was down the street from a shopping area. This is the machine where you pay for your parking space.

There is a number and a guard on each space.

After you park your car, this guard rises preventing you from leaving without paying. After you pay, the guard lowers.

Note: The triangular sign is a stop sign. It says tomare in Japanese. The first symbol is written in kanji. Then "ma" and "re" are in hiragana. Some words are a combination of both kanji and hiragana.
