In Tokyo, if you want to buy a car you have to first prove that you own a space to keep it. This often means buying a space in a garage such as this. Parking garages often don't have any drive around space. Instead they act like a tall vertical tie rack for cars. Each car has a metal platform as a space, and when you leave the car the carousel lifts it up and in its place is another free platform for the next car. This maximises the space used in a garage.
The picture above is a small version being used for a block of low rise apartments. Note the turntable to allow the cars to get in and out in the smallest possible space.
