Those spaces can be reserved at Nokisaki for short periods of time—starting from three hours—and for as little as $15 total. The spots are granted on a first-come, first-served basis and the rental times and prices are set by landlords.
It's unclear whether Nokisaki can work in other countries, but it seems well suited to Japan, where land is scarce and it is difficult to secure permission to sell goods on public space in crowded cities like Tokyo.

このような場所の短期間使用を「のきさき」は予約することができる、3時間から借りられ、全部で15ドルという手軽さからだ。場所は早い者勝ちで決められ、貸す時間と価格は地主が決める。
「のきさき」が他の国で成立つかどうかは判らないが、東京など土地が狭く、混雑した都市での公共の場所において物品の販売許可を取るのが大変な日本にはぴったりだ。
