akippa Inc. (CEO: Genki Kanaya) will begin accepting reservations for a portion of the "Shin-Toyota Station West Parking (Large Bus Only Parking)" through its smart parking app "akippa" starting April 1, 2026 (Wednesday), in cooperation with Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture (Mayor: Toshihiko Ota).
By making it possible to secure large bus parking in advance in the city center, the aim is to create opportunities for group tourists to visit and further improve the accommodation and stay environment within the city.
Leveraging our past collaboration achievements with Toyota City, we will work together as a public-private partnership through this initiative to solve regional issues and revitalize urban tourism.

Toyota City is strengthening its efforts to attract group tourists to the city center, and with the nationwide recovery of tourism demand, securing large bus parking in urban areas will become increasingly important.
Against this backdrop, it has been decided to effectively utilize the surplus space in the route bus pool area of "Shin-Toyota Station West Parking," which is conveniently located in front of Shin-Toyota Station, as a large bus-only parking lot available for pre-booking through akippa.

Three Goals of This Partnership
・Creation of Group Visitors and Promotion of Stays
By making it possible to secure dedicated large bus parking in advance, group travel itineraries become easier to plan, which is expected to create opportunities for dining and accommodation within the city and revitalize the regional economy.
・Traffic Dispersion during Events and Provision of "Choice of Access"
Since many large-scale events are held in the surrounding area, increasing the option of accessing by bus and improving the convenience of access other than private cars will contribute to alleviating traffic congestion.
・Effective Utilization of Idle Assets through Public-Private Partnership
By effectively utilizing surplus administrative property space through akippa, we aim to create a more comfortable access environment for visitors.
