For the safety of road users, and to avoid nuisance and pollution to local residents, visitors arriving by car are asked not to wait or park on nearby roads, and not to keep engines running when stationary. Coaches are asked to avoid residential roads such as Oike-dori, Omiya-dori, and Shinsen’en-dori. Parking spots for coaches become busy around 9:00, 10:30, and 13:30. To alleviate congestion, coach operators are advised to reserve their parking spaces in advance.
