The Japanese
taxi industry is offering new services to foreign tourists to help them enjoy
Japan as much as possible. Tokyo Taxi Center that manages taxi cabs travelling
in the Tokyo metropolis has increased the number of hospitality taxi cabs
driven by a driver who can speak English. When you get out of the international
terminal of Haneda Airport, you can find a hospitality taxi cab. In addition,
one-box taxi cabs that transport more than five people are also available. A taxi
company in a sightseeing spot has already made it mandatory for its drivers to
learn English conversation.
In Kawagoe of
Saitama Prefecture, taxi drivers carry a sheet on which taxi fare and the
explanation of the destination are described in foreign languages. Drivers
respond to questions from tourists by showing the sheet. At the same time, the
number of taxi cabs that allow the driver to settle the payment by cash card in
his car is increasing. The Tokyo Olympics is approaching, and Japan and all the
Japanese people are working out various actions to hospitalize all people from
every corner of the world.
