How to get by Taxi

Narita airport to Shinjuku station How to get by taxi

There is 【fixed-rate taxi】 from NRT to each place of Tokyo. *Advance reservation required

Japan TAXI like that.

“NRT ⇔ Tokyo” has a fixed rate of ¥20,000, but you need to pay a highway toll in addition to the fixed-rate fare and pickup fee.

The highway toll is not fixed (the specific highway to be used has not been decided), and the actual toll is not known in advance.

Natsumi

It is estimated to be approximately between ¥25,000 and ¥30,000.

A taxi waiting at the airport (Local taxi) also cost about the same price or more.

Affordable Airport Shuttle Taxi!

If you need airport transportation, I recommend airport shuttles taxi.

Because they have a higher passenger capacity and are affordable!
