6:07pm:I was just remembering something cool Alex pointed out in Kobe. There are parking garages that take up only maybe 4-6 cars worth of land space but are ten stories tall. You drive your car into an opening at ground level where your car is picked up and put into a spot up inside the parking garage (you get out at ground level). In Nara I saw something else that struck me as funny. Side note: we’re pulling into Himeji station and I can see Himeji-jo from here. It’s tall but was also built on a hill and must have been beautiful and dominating (more so than now) before the area was developed. It was built approximately 400 years ago
