Hagiwara Electronics, Sheeva.AI, and Nokisaki Launch Japan's First Location-Based Parking Control System at Snow Peak ABURAYAMA FUKUOKA

Sheeva.AI, in collaboration with its strategic partner Hagiwara Electronics Co. Ltd., and parking services company Nokisaki Co., Ltd., today announced the successful deployment of Japan's first location-based parking control system at Snow Peak ABURAYAMA FUKUOKA, operated by JR Kyushu Regional Design Co., Ltd. This groundbreaking implementation represents a significant advancement in creating a better customer experience in the Japanese parking market.

The innovative system integrates Sheeva.AI's precise location-based SheevaConnect™ authentication technology with Nokisaki's advanced parking management platform, creating a seamless experience and customer convenience.

Following a successful month-long trial that demonstrated overwhelming user satisfaction, Snow Peak ABURAYAMA FUKUOKA has transitioned to full implementation of the system as of mid-July 2025.

"Surveys show that easily finding and paying for parking is consistently one of the most wanted features for drivers,” said Evgeny Klochikhin, CEO of Sheeva.AI. "By reducing parking access time to just 3 seconds with one-tap on the in-car screen, we're demonstrating the real consumer benefit of location-based services in enhancing operational efficiency.”

The system addresses significant pain points experienced by drivers and staff alike, needing to align vehicles, open windows, and scan credentials regardless of weather conditions. The new solution improves this process with a simple one-touch operation from inside the vehicle, dramatically increasing efficiency and user satisfaction. Feedback from drivers at Snow Peak ABURAYAMA FUKUOKA has been positive already, said Akiko Nishiura, President of Nokisaki Co., Ltd.

"At Nokisaki, we're constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance our parking management solutions," she added. "Partnering with Sheeva.AI allows us to leverage cutting-edge location technology that perfectly complements our existing systems. We're excited to expand this technology to additional locations across Japan, creating more seamless and user-friendly experiences for both operators and end users."

During the trial period from this June, the system was used over 400 times at the luxury outdoor accommodation facility, marking a key milestone for the Japanese in-vehicle services marketplace, launched a year ago in a joint announcement by Sheeva.AI and Hagiwara. See the demo video here.

Sheeva.AI works with several automotive partners to have this technology implemented and available in over a million vehicles by the end of 2025.
