Can I make a reservation?

They have no rental reservations.

There are a total of 5 strollers, but unfortunately we cannot rent them if they are all rented.

Can I borrow at any time?

They may not be available for rent on rainy or windy days, or on days when there are events such as the Sanja Festival.

So, if you have an event on the day you want to rent, you should inquire in advance.

Please note that you need to return the rental equipment by 19:00 on the day you borrow it at the latest, so if you want to borrow it until the next day, you need to return it once and go back the next day to borrow it again.
