Facility Overview

The Aiso Street Parking Garage, located at 124 Judge John Aiso St, serves as a primary parking hub in the heart of Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. This facility is a multi-level, covered concrete structure designed to provide reliable shelter for vehicles in a dense urban environment. The garage is well-regarded for its capacity and structural layout, accommodating standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and most full-size sedans.
