⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Use only the official taxi rank; touts outside arrivals may offer unlicensed or overpriced rides.
  • Taxi meters start at ¥500 and expressway tolls are added on top; confirm whether a fixed fare includes tolls before leaving.
  • Buy Keikyu or Monorail tickets only from station machines or use Suica/PASMO; do not buy discounted tickets from strangers.
  • Late at night, if the taxi queue is long, stay in line rather than accepting a ride from someone offering a faster private car.
