"Aikasa," an umbrella sharing service.
In recent years, parasols have become increasingly popular not only as a rainy-day service, but also as a way to protect against the summer sun. In Osaka, days with temperatures exceeding 35°C are not uncommon, and using a parasol can lower the perceived temperature and help prevent heatstroke.
You can easily rent a bicycle using your smartphone and return it to a spot near your destination when you're finished. It's a comfortable and environmentally friendly service that can be used not only on rainy days but also to protect yourself from the summer sun.
Use Aikasa to enjoy a light and comfortable sightseeing experience in Osaka.
