I would love to use the Docomo bike share in Osaka but the official app requires a Japanese phone number which I do not have.
The website/online guides say that foreigners can get a 1-day pass without registering a phone number if you purchase from a manned sales location, but I cannot find any list of "manned sales locations" for Osaka online!
Other websites say that the 1-day pass can be bought from a 7-Eleven but that may also need a Japanese phone number.
Has anyone had success with this or a better way to rent bikes as a foreigner based near Dotonbori?
