A person self-driving in Japan parked at a chain parking lot and was shocked to find out that it costs 660 Japanese yen (around NT$132) for just 10 minutes of parking in downtown areas like Tokyo and Osaka. Some parking lots have no upper limit on charges, with overnight parking costing as much as NT$2400. Parking in Japan's major cities can be twice as expensive as in rural areas, with rates varying greatly even within the same city. Travelers are advised to be cautious of parking traps and explore discounted options like hotels with parking facilities to save on costs.
