Tokyo Transportation - Taxi

Taxi is a very convenient transport but in Japan it is also a very expensive due to the charging system. The base fare in Tokyo is 660 Yen for first 2 km. of the ride and extra 80 Yen for every 274 meters afterwards. From 23:00 to 05:00 you will be asked to pay about 30% more. Entering a taxi you should better have a map to your destination and not only an address, because Tokyo has very complicated street and building numbering and the driver may not know where exactly you need to go.
