Japan's Largest Rental Motorcycle Service "Rental819" Introduces AI Agent - Real-time Answers to All Pre-ride Questions, Even Late at Night or in Foreign Languages

Kizuki Rental Service Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture), which operates "Rental819," Japan's largest rental motorcycle service, officially introduced an AI agent on its official website on March 19, 2026.

Background: Increasing Inquiries and Diversifying User Needs

In recent years, interest in motorcycles has rekindled, especially among younger generations, and the use by inbound tourists has also been on the rise, leading to a continuous expansion of the rental motorcycle market. Rental819 operates a franchise network nationwide from Hokkaido to Okinawa, offering over 100 stores and more than 3,000 vehicles, making it one of Japan's largest rental motorcycle services.

Meanwhile, with the increase in users, there has been a rise in inquiries outside business hours and a growing need for multilingual support from inbound riders. For Rental819, which pursues a service where users can "ride immediately when they want to ride," providing access to information "anytime, immediately" was the next challenge.
