The Cost Of A Taxi

[Jimmydr]

How much does a taxi cost for say an hour? Do they have meters?

Yes, taxis rides are metered. One hour would be expensive, maybe >Y10,000. Fares are distance based so the cost for 1 hour one hour is hard to judge. If you are in Tokyo this link might help...

If you're in Tokyo, you can find taxis anywhere, so there's no reason to keep the same one. Just remember that a red sign means they are available, green means they aren't.

I made a spreadsheet calculator based on the fare structure, and that site seem to be fairly accurate. Note the 20% night surcharge
