      In Japan, automobile owners must obtain a shako shomei sho, or “garage certificate,” showing that they have secured a place to store the vehicle overnight at their residence or in a parking garage; leaving it streetside is not an option. The expense and hassle of that requirement acts as a deterrent to car ownership, and an inducement to travel by other modes like transit or a bicycle.
