About Tokyo taxis
Tokyo taxis are metered; hail one where the windscreen sign shows it is free, or book through the operators’ apps. The rear left door opens and closes automatically: let the driver do it. Most taxis take cards and IC cards.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Tokyo taxis before you go.
