BESTI used it really well. I looked around Dotonbori in the morning when there weren't many people, then made a reservation for the evening in front of Don Quijote in Dotonbori, toured other places, and finished up with a cruise after dinner. There were a lot of people in the evening, so I made a reservation so I could ride without waiting at that time.
