意思
To travel by hiring a taxi service.
文化背景
Japanese taxis have automatic doors. The driver controls them, so wait for the door to open and close on its own. Tipping is not required or expected. It can even cause confusion if you try to leave extra money. Most taxis in major cities now accept credit cards and IC cards (like Suica), but some rural taxis may still be cash-only. Late-night surcharges (usually 20%) apply between 10 PM and 5 AM.
Hailing a Taxi
Look for the light in the window. Red (空車 - kuusha) means empty and available. Green (賃走 - chinso) means occupied.
Automatic Doors
Seriously, don't touch the doors. It can damage the mechanism and startle the driver.
