Reply To: Taxi from Haneda
Hi David.
Do you want to ride in a taxi while sitting in your wheelchair?
If you want to do that, you have to make a reservation in advance in Japan. And it’s the same not only in Tokyo but all over Japan.
This is required by Japanese law.
I think it’s best to make a reservation by contacting Oshidori-san or Tokyo Care support-san, who are posting on this forum.
However, if you can get out of your wheelchair before getting in the taxi, you may be able to take a regular taxi without a reservation.
By the way, roughly speaking, I think it takes about an hour to ride from Haneda Airport to Shinjuku and costs about 10,000 JPY.
Considering the cost, it may be cheaper to book the taxi I introduced earlier and rent it by the hour.
Japan is still lagging behind in such systems.
I’m sorry.
