How does the system actually work? Do taxi drivers in Japan use their own cars or are they operating official taxi vehicles? Is there a special app that allows you to communicate directly with the driver? And how do they know your exact arrival time?
Japan is supposed to be safer, right? I’m planning to visit next month with my husband and our daughter, so I’d love to understand how the transport system works and what to expect.
Japan E-hailing only allow to Taxi. It only feel like online calling Taxi. All using App calling taxi will be surcharge extra 500 Yen. Uber / Go Taxi App is like your Grab...once you calling taxi, you will know the taxi car number plate and driver name. You also can message him. You better call when you at airport outside. You dont "stupid" like alot Malaysian start booking taxi when you start debording aircraft, no even clear custom & collect luggage...Japan taxi once you booked it, it reach pick up zone, meter start ticking....you will end up 20000-30000 Yen

Oh Yes...Grab / Uber wil let you know destination price...Japan no..it just call Taxi app..so it wont show you the price from airport to your destination final
price.
2200 - 0500 will be 20% extra Surcharge.
Passenger pay for the Express way Toll Fare.
So....after 10pm, you at Haneda Airport call taxi service to Tokyo City. It will be [Taxi Fare + Midnight Charges 20% based on Fare + Calling fare (500) + Express way Toll fare]
Another is go DARK WAY
Those from Trip / Klook can booked Airport to City transport using Alhard...99% drive will be Chinese. Nagative is alot no showed driver.
you bear the risk .
