How this tool works
This Tokyo Taxi Fare Calculator provides an estimated fare using a simplified, meter-based calculation and a built-in list of popular Tokyo locations.
-
You enter a From and To location.
The tool suggests places from its built-in Tokyo list as you type. Select a suggestion or type a matching location name. -
It estimates the distance.
Because this version does not use Google APIs, the tool calculates an approximate straight-line distance between the two matched Tokyo points. -
It applies the standard meter-style fare rules.
The fare is computed based on:- Base fare: ¥500 for the first 1.096 km.
- Additional distance: ¥100 for every additional 255 meters beyond the base distance (partial segments round up).
- Night surcharge (optional): adds 20% if selected.
- Long-distance discount (optional): applies a 10% discount to the portion of the fare above ¥9,000 if enabled.
-
It shows a clear breakdown.
You’ll see the base fare, additional distance fare, any night surcharge, and any long-distance discount.
Important: This tool is an estimate. Real taxi fares may be higher due to route choice, traffic, tolls, pick-up/dispatch fees, or company-specific pricing policies.
FAQs
Is this an official fare?
No. This is an estimate based on standard meter-style rules and an approximate distance calculation.
How is distance calculated?
The tool calculates a straight-line (as-the-crow-flies) distance between two known Tokyo points from the list.
This is usually lower than real driving distance.
What is the base fare used in this calculator?
The calculator uses a base fare of ¥500 covering the first 1.096 km,
then ¥100 per additional 255 meters.
Does the calculator include tolls or pick-up fees?
No. Tolls, parking, app dispatch fees, reservation charges, or airport-specific extras (if any)
are not included.
When does the night surcharge apply?
If you toggle Night time on, the calculator adds a 20% surcharge to the distance-based fare.
How does the long-distance discount work?
If enabled, the calculator reduces 10% of the amount that exceeds ¥9,000.
This is applied after any night surcharge.
Why can’t I find a place?
The manual list includes popular stations, districts, and landmarks.
If a place isn’t listed, you may need to add it to the dataset for accurate matching.
Do Tokyo taxi fares change frequently?
Not frequently. A quick verification a few times per year is usually enough for a simple estimator.
