These are often built with barriers that rise a few minutes after you park in a space. To lower the barriers you must use the machine. Input the number of your parking space and pay the hourly rate with cash or a credit card to lower the barrier.
Are the machines bilingual? I presume not?

I take it that the OP has already decided to do this so I'm not going to waste time with words of reassurance. You made a choice that works for you. Good.

If you are familiar with Japanese cars, it shouldnt be much of an issue. Drivers who are used to european brands will go nuts, especially with the wiper.
