Next-Generation Parking Solutions at Shizuoka Station with DENNOU PARK

Introduction to DENNOU PARK

Gone are the days when parking lots merely served as places to stop your vehicle. The newly opened "LiberCoin Parking Otemachi No.1" near Shizuoka Station in Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, has redefined parking experiences by integrating state-of-the-art technology. Managed by DataHax Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo), this facility officially launched in September 2025 and introduces the advanced "DENNOU PARK" system.

The Need for Innovative Parking Solutions

Positioned in a vital administrative and cultural hub, the vicinity of Shizuoka Castle Park, Otemachi requires parking solutions that cater to a diverse range of users. Events like the Shizuoka Festival draw large crowds, necessitating efficient traffic management and accessible payment methods for everyone—locals, tourists, and event attendees alike. Higher safety levels are also crucial for reducing risks associated with accidents or vehicle malfunctions.

Addressing Regional Needs

To accommodate various user requirements, "LiberCoin Parking Otemachi No.1" has embraced advanced features and tailored solutions.

1. Smooth Entry and Exit: To alleviate congestion during peak times, the facility employs a fast and accurate gate-less number recognition system for entry and exit management, significantly reducing user wait times.

2. Comprehensive Payment Systems: While cashless payments are becoming ubiquitous, it is essential to remember that some users still prefer traditional cash methods. By providing options for credit cards, mobile payment services like PayPay, and cash transactions, this parking facility ensures all visitors can easily access the services.

3. User-Friendly Design: The parking system is designed with intuitive interfaces and easy-to-use payment terminals that cater to a varied demographic, including seniors and first-time users, enhancing the overall user experience.

4. Cost Effective Operations: The absence of physical gate structures minimizes the likelihood of accidents and maintenance costs, benefiting both operators and users. In the first three months of operation, significant improvements in traffic flow and user satisfaction have been reported.

5. Pre-Settlement Payments: Users can complete payment at the terminal before exiting, which further reduces the need for complicated processes or equipment that could lead to accidents or breakdowns.

What is DENNOU PARK?

The innovative "DENNOU PARK" utilizes proprietary AI algorithms to recognize vehicles and track entry and exit times, along with fees—eliminating the need for traditional parking steps like ticket issuance or waiting at gates. This system reduces operational costs to about half of typical parking management expenses by employing only essential equipment.

Future Developments

Looking ahead, the company plans to continuously adapt and improve its services by incorporating various payment methods, including license plate payments and customer relationship management (CRM) based on driving behavior data. The goal is to create tightly tailored services that align with local characteristics and user profiles, boosting convenience while controlling operational costs. This will drive forward the digital transformation of parking services.
