Ride a Taxi
Like taxi is more expensive than other transportation systems in North America, it is expensive in Japan too. The price varies depending on the area but the price in Tokyo area is 660yen for the first 2km, then additional 80yen per 274m. Also, they charge you additional if the taxi has to go slow, 80yen for 100 seconds when the car is going slower than 10km/h. The price is 30% higher at night between 11PM and 5AM.
The easiest way to catch taxi is to go on the line to get on taxi in a train station. Otherwise, you need to find an available taxi on street and hold your hand, or give them a call, in which case they charge you for (they come to pick you up.)
