①Select a rental location from the ”Bike Share Service” app, check if there is a bicycle at the cycle port you are thinking of renting, and select one from the displayed bicycle list to make a reservation.
After completing the reservation, a bus code will be issued.
②How to rent a bicycle at the cycle port
You can enter the code on the panel above the battery of the selected bicycle, so press the ”START” button there and enter the pass code to unlock it and use it!

Basically, if there is a cycle port you can return it anywhere, so find a cycle port around the destination you want to go and return it there.
There is a button called ”Enter” on the operation panel, so press it to complete the return!!

Be careful of Peacecle
Here are two points to keep in mind when using Peacecle.
Can I borrow 2 cars?
It seems that it is not possible to rent two at the same time because it is managed by the registration ID.
Reference: Docomo Bike Share Service【FAQ】
Did you forget to return it??
If the port is locked, there are cases where it is automatically returned every 15 minutes, so so there are cases where the return has been completed.
*Automatic return may not be possible when the car is full or the signal is poor, so it is better to return the bike in advance!!
