Parking
The construction project that happened in the empty lot next door seems to have been to turn it into a parking lot. This will go nicely with the parking lot next to it, the parking lot next to that, the parking lot next to that, the parking lot across the street, the parking lot across the street from that, and the parking lot across the street from that.
If there’s one thing Higashi-Omiya has, it’s parking.
Oh and there’s the two floors of parking at the pachinko parlor around the corner. This seems to be a pretty good place to have a car nowadays.
There needs to be parking space for all the people building parking spaces to be able to park in.
