Essential Taxi Etiquette & Payments
Whether you are missing the last train, carry a lot of baggage or are just too fatigued to take a longer coach trip, a taxi trip in Kyoto can be a quick and convenient option. Calling a taxi can also be inexpensive over shorter journeys if two or more people are sharing the bill.
Here we look at the fundamental labels of taxi, how to get paid, where to find a taxi and which taxi businesses to look out for. Most roads are simple to call a taxi. Simply lift your hands for an accommodating taxi, as you would in your home state. When the traffic lights in the side windows of the co-driver are flashing red, the taxi is already in use.
When the traffic lights are flashing green, the taxi is available. Even at nights a lamp on the taxi top indicates that the taxi is empty. Most taxi driver don't know English. Tailgates of taxi cabins open and shut automatic. Taxis all have metres, and taxi riders are generally sincere, so you don't have to be afraid of being betrayed.
Since not all cabs are accepting major credits it is best to have the appropriate amount available to be paid in full currency. The taxi rates vary according to the taxi's dimensions. In principle, taxi tariffs rise with the taxi's age. One small taxi can accommodate four persons, but if you have more persons in your group, you will need either a larger car or a taxi.
There are also taxi stands at most other railway and coach stops. In other places, it's pretty simple to call a cab on the road. Taxi stands are the place where taxi drivers line up and clients enter in the order in which they are available. Therefore, you cannot select a specific taxi service when entering a taxi stand.
However, if you call a taxi on the road, you should select the better businesses based on their taxi logo. However, some independant (?? kojin) taxi riders are not as courteous as they should be, or take care not to take a taxi, so try to get a taxi from a serious business.
MK Taxi and Yasaka Taxi have the best reputations of all the taxi businesses in Kyoto for their services. Both of these enterprises also have sites in England. But if you want to call a taxi, you usually have to do it in Japanese or have someone do it for you.
In the following we present these two businesses and some others you may want to look for. The MK taxi is recognizable by the heart-shaped emblem on the canopy. This taxi business is winning with arms and feet just for the sake of servicing. Your driver is always courteous and well-groomed and often gets out of the vehicle to open and shut the taxi for you.
Several MK taxi riders can also talk English. The MK taxi is also known for offering the lowest cost services. A small taxi (places 4) costs 600 Japanese Yen for the first 2 kilometres and another 80 Japanese Yen every 415 metres. Compared to other cabs, which only calculate 590 Japanese yen for the first 1.7 kilometres, this is followed by another 80 Japanese yen every 324 metres.
MK-Taxies also have a 10% rebate dedicated to clients dressing in a canvas. However, like most taxi operators, they add a 20% supplement for cabs taken between 23:00 and 5:00 hours. You can recognize Yasaka taxi by the Klee logos on the top.

Incorporated under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, the business seeks to encourage environmental conservation.
Also, electric taxi cabs turn off their engine when idle to cut down emission levels and increase mileage. A lot of electric cabs are fitted with a cycle carrier so that they can wear a cycle on the back of the car. There is a collection charge of 200 Japanese yen if you reserve a taxi specifically for this use.
At Ecolo Taxi we calculate our normal fares and offer a 10% rebate for persons over 65. A 20% supplement will be charged for taxi services taken between 23:00 and 5:00 hrs.
