Explanation
quote
.. capitalized on the Nokisaki.com website set up by Tokyo-based Nokisaki Co., a firm that acts as an intermediary for landowners looking to rent vacant "nokisaki" (edge of the eaves) spaces at relatively low cost and tenants wishing to lease such areas by the hour, day or week. Unlike regular property leasing, the contracts concern only the right to use nokisaki spaces.
Nokisaki.com has grown increasingly popular since its launch in April 2008, indicating rising interest in the use of such small, open spaces.
The locations include squares in front of office buildings in business districts, spots around stores that are unused outside business hours, and even parking spots at people's homes that would otherwise be left vacant.
The number of contracts concluded on Nokisaki.com totals about 350 a month in the Tokyo and Osaka areas.
