Park24's Innovative Digital Parking Service Vouchers

Park24, a leading player in the parking service industry in Japan, has transformed the way people manage their parking fees through its Times Club App. On March 16, 2026, the company introduced a new feature that allows users to receive various parking service vouchers digitally, depending on their usage of affiliated stores and facilities.

The Times Club App serves as the official application for Times Club, a membership service designed specifically for drivers. This app is packed with features including parking spot searches, earning Times Points, and receiving various discounts at partner facilities. Furthermore, if users register their credit cards in advance, they can enjoy the Times Club App Checkout, allowing payments to be completed solely through the app without using payment machines. This feature is available at over 10,000 parking locations across Japan, and users can easily find participating lots through the Parking Information website or within the app itself.

The newly added feature not only enhances the app’s functionality but also significantly streamlines the process of obtaining parking service vouchers. Users can simply tap their smartphones to NFC tags installed at member stores providing Times Parking discounts. Upon doing so, they will receive a digital parking service voucher directly on their app. This voucher can then be used at payment machines or through the Times Club App Checkout and supports multiple vouchers at once.

Traditionally, parking service vouchers were issued as magnetic tickets or receipts printed with QR codes, which could easily be lost or misplaced. The introduction of the digital parking service voucher eliminates the hassle of carrying physical tickets and the risk of losing them, leading to a more seamless parking fee discount experience.

NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, which is widely used in credit cards and transit IC cards, powers this new feature, making the transaction process faster and more secured. QR codes, originally developed by Denso Wave Inc., are also utilized for parking transactions; however, the shift to digital vouchers provides a more user-friendly solution.

Looking to the future, Park24 is committed to continuously enhancing the Times Club App and aims to improve the overall convenience for parking lot users. The company is focused on delivering distinctive value that reflects the unique qualities of its parking services.
