Vertical carpark!

[xtrem04]

Thanks for the video ^_^

[WorldCitizen06]

Japan is awesome!

[blahk04]

I'm guessing that machinery costs a pretty penny and obviously requires many materials. The car parks we got in US are just fine the way they are, don't need this stuff. But it is cool.

[NobertNolasco]

whats the car?

[caldevera]

0:50 that space for the person to pass through is so small.

[pinkagony13]

Amazing, this is just one short step away from 'IRobot' techology... :D

[DreamingCimderella]

genius

[DemonEyeBennett]

Wait...that's not my car!

[RicardoDavid182]

After seeing this, went to Macau where I parked in a similar system.

It's so cool! :-)

[ILUVFFANDKH]

I saw this on tv once, i think every country should do this, it's better for the enviornment, that way we don't tear down forests, etc for more land :D

[mrfurball]

thats amazing it reminds me of the automated parking in the movie ( IROBOT ) starting Will Smith.

[littlemissmakeup075]

thay r bilding 1 of them in birminghm :D in the uk

[ChristianDiMaria]

That's actually really smart, a great way to save space in crowded cities! Thanks for the video!

[Midnightryder7]

This would be a good idea to have in Downtown Manhatton NYC

[zofoblues]

I bet thats faster than walking through a high rise park and it looks really safe too.

[parrish001]

Am I the only one who thinks that picture on the building looks wrong?

[saki14duh]

We need this in New york!!!!!!! is it cheap? how much do u have to pay

[blackcommander11]

now, THAT is so cool

[Sreewtyui]

OK I am stupid...

WHY do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

HUH!!?? Can you tell me that? !! Well, I am waiting.....

[BlackyChan911]

'When you want your car back system gives it to someone else..for you'

[shropshire21]

Do they have a weight limit on the vertical car parks?

[fiasko444]

I haven't had the balls to use one of these because my Japanese isn't good enough. It would totally suck if I couldn't get my car back.

These things are genius though... you can probably fit 100 cars in the same space that 6 would normally fit in a regular parking lot.

And it is a lot cheaper than building a cement parkade.

[ribiselaffe]

crazy



[natalie1605]

Wow this has to be one of the most weird things I have ever seen. Amazing but different =) I like! 5 stars.

[dedo4]

Wow! O_O

[xxxilero]

just like our garage XD

[illmagnified]

That toyota looked like a Lexus.

[damnfoolstoday]

@illmagnified doesent toyoyta make lexus?

[illmagnified]

@damnfoolstoday lol I have no idea, but if they did, that would make a lot of sense because that car looks exactly like the Big body Lexus.

[pajutez]

@damnfoolstoday its toyota crown

[SovietSlayer]

@pajutez It's not a crown, it's a celsior and I know because I use those brake calipers on my soarer and those rims as spares

[thejorrel129]

well japan isnt very big so if u cant go side to side the only other way is up!

[McDeeViouz]

What if u forget to apply the handbrake, and it rolls off the platform and jams up the system....you'd be fk'd

[JAWdog777]

A lot of the things in Japan that you show are fantastically fun, yet hilariously extremely-dangerous. Your (I'm assuming) pretty true perspectives of live in Japan reminds me of the experimental rollercoaster game for the computer known as RollerCoaster Tycoon -- a game where even some of the most fun or "coolest" rides can be built and are tested by the parkgoers, yet for certain experiments death is so easily immagined when a simple something goes only slightly out of place. he he

[sofiadragon1979]

That is kick ass.

[supermansamuel]

*my life be like, ooooh ahhhh ooh aah oOOOOoh* lol Tokyo Drift ^_^

[LetMeSignXx]

You have got to be kidding me. That's like Thunderbirds in it's awesomeness!!

[Clearie552]

seems pretty safe. they have bike lockers that work in a similar way, but I would never have guessed you could do it with cars.

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Amazing. By the way, in regard to that narrow building, one of the amazing things about the Japanese is that they have and find ways to get more out of life by the small and simple things. I found that out by watching a documentary about how maximum excellence can be attained with places that have small spaces in Japan.

[firefoxrainbow]

We have things like this in New Orleans.

[cturismo864]

Perfect for London :)

[brywic28]

we need that here in melbourne!!! looking for parking in the city is frantically frustrating not to mention the ridicilously expensive fees...plus your cars keep on being dent, stolen or smashed for no reason all the friggin time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[xXGaTaGaNgStErXx]

WHOA.. u dont see THAT in u.s.a xD

[Fiinniinnii]

burst my bubble... LOL

[RinLoveCharms]

This is so interesting! It is sort of like a large car vending machine.

[shsmustangs]

@RinLoveCharms ill take B7...the Ferrari

[kmarinas86]

Next will be a car vending machine, using similar technology.

[CommanderB9488]

I love the idea of the vertical car park. The money spent on laying down asphalt and painting lines goes into production of this. They can also reuse scrap metal, melt it down, mix it with other metals rather than purchase new metal. More surface area to build more structures rather than have a HUGE parking lot to plow snow. Nothing is perfect in this world.

[klaas198126]

wont it take long befor you get your car back once inserted the location of the car .. if its in the top.. hmm hope the have a coffe corner down there,,

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@klaas198126

About one minute.

[klaas198126]

@TheJapanChannelDcom

you say that it you have staled your car there.. think its a good solution parking garage needs more space. dont want to know what it will cost to build it

[ManabuKempfer]

@TheJapanChannelDcom this is soo cool. ^_^ wooow this isnt in America too bad though

[Twiggyay]

at least no one`s gonna steal yor car! =3

[saundersnigel007]

or steal something from it like the radio etc

[softypapa]

Those are some great shots of the system looking up and into the storage building. Thanks for sharing! -Kurt :-)

[country482005]

i wish we had these in america

[amodmulay]

Hes we have these type of parkings in Pune, India. They are 8 storied high

[videochemist]

*suddenly an earthquake*

"honey where's the car?"

"it fell off the shelf and broke"

seriously, in what other country could you say a line like that?

[roopdaug]

my uncle (in japan) has those in his appartment, they're cool but take forever. a bit ironic considering he's a docter so might need to be off for an emergency or something lol

[dpsantos1994]

if i murdered a guy i'd put him on a car and drive to a vertical car park, where i'd hide the car and the body. just like i do with my money

nah im joking =)

nice video! i had never heard about those car parks. thank you

5 stars for amazingnes =D

[KrayZieAsSPiNoy]

What happens when there's an earthquake?

Considering the frequent quakes in that country.

...Or they don't worry about it since those buildings are pretty sturdy?

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Yeah, would not want to be in there in an earthquake!

But buildings built in the last 15 years are usually safe :-)

[FallenComradelV]

make a video on JAPAN SEX HOTELS heard there hot on that there

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

already did.. it is on the channel page

[adamtoner123]

That's one of the coolest things i've ever seen:O

[omgapidgey]

O: Thats Incredible!

[Fiinniinnii]

not?

[MavmanFilms]

In Australia, they don't have this kind of parkings.

[torentazos]

hahahaahahahhahhaah! ....I'm speechless...

[idzit]

Genius.

[TiTaan86]

Only in Japan ! :P

[Fiinniinnii]

not only in japan. im from germany i belive in germany are also vertical carparks maybe not much, but probably vertical carparks are all over the world. especially the US.

[AmyInCyberland]

yes, that's right. I'm german as well :D I never experienced these carparks myself. but I know those by newspaper articles and tv shows :D

[109mytiger]

I live in New York, but I have never seen those.

[Stig22121]

And the best part is, that Toyota Chaser doesn't have a scratch on it.

[TheTwelfthDoctor]

We need that here in Holland can't park anywhere! in some places you can't even park when you're home!

[sailormoonpricess14]

I dont care 4 cars...but the vid still rocks cuse its u in japan lol XD

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Thanks!

Maybe you will prefer the bicycle video ;-)

[raby760]

Wow, I live in NYC and I haven't seen one yet. This would be perfect in Times Square and the Grand Central area.

[dl4breeze]

what you expect its America

[MultiKdizzle]

I, Robot haha

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Really?

Cool!

I would like to see that!

Please make a video about it!!

[dl4breeze]

it sucks trust me not worth the watch

[ebaymagot]

I saw these when i was on vacation in japan. I wish i had a car so i could place my night vision camera in there and record what goes on when the door closes :)

[rubi84]

what happens if u stay in ur car?^^

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Then it get dark real quick!!!

:-D

[Tiggermonster23]

As cool as that sounds, I still have to wonder how you'd get out. That'd be a mean prank. ^A^

[frefey]

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Really?

Cool!!

You should make a video about it!

Everyone else thinks they are just in Japan!

[meowmix14]

OMFG i didn't think those things existed O.O

I saw something like that in that one movie fast and thefurious tokyo drift but i thought that movie was based in the future

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

Yep, they exist!

Living here often feels like the future!!

[109mytiger]

I lived in Japan, my apartment was next a vertical car park. That was  1970's.

[fiasko444]

@meowmix14

I HOPE YOU ARE JOKING

hahahha

either way it made me laugh thank you

[meowmix14]

@fiasko444 lol well i saw that movie when i was kid so yea xDDD

and no problem C:

[xiansadan]

I need something like this for my bicycle.

[soley111]

Very inspirational,indeed.Japanese had always been creators of space in an ingenious way. Admirable. Thanks TJCD.

[pidlive]

I think you'd be a bit screwed if you forgot to get out of your car in time lol!

[OMGpigtails]

Why hasn't anyone commented this!? It's like.. Science fiction stuff!! CRAZY!!
