This is our car. Note the elastic band.
The workers strapped and taped this one on the car next to ours.

Driveway Gate
Houses usually have a wall or a fence around them. This house has a driveway behind it, so a big gate was needed. This one is unusual because it lifts up. It's probably lifted manually. I got pictures from two different angles, but didn't notice a motor.

A Tokyo Car Wash
This is one kind of car wash in Tokyo. This one was in the corner of a gas station. If you want to wash your car, you park it on the ramp. The car wash moves along its track and washes the car. Then an attendant dries it off.

Cars: Parking

This is an example of a parking lot at an apartment building. Assistance from an attendant is required. Cars are parked on a platform that is raised. This doubles the number of parking spaces in a small lot.
