Circle K, a convenience store chain, has entered the bicycle rental market in Kyoto.
In front of a store north of Daimaru department store, three bikes were lined up waiting to be rented.
There is little information online in Japanese or English.
The woman manager, however, was helpful.
To rent a bike, must present one of the following: a valid passport, driver's license (Japanese), student id (presumably Japanese), or insurance card (Japanese).
