Pendeln mit dem Auto und Parkgebühren, um in Japan von der Einkommensteuer befreit zu werden

Depending on where you work, they’ll count your travel reimbursement/housing allowance/ bonus and unused vacation payout as income, and I think it’s to raise your NHI cost. If it hits your bank account, it counts as income, unless specifically flagged otherwise. That’s unusual. In other countries, taxation tries to measure the economic benefit. In Japan, taxation measures the monetary visibility.
