1. The Kawasaki Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Kawasaki taxi rate was officially set on January 1, 2025. Taxi tariffs in Japan are officially set by cities or districts. The taxi tariff Kawasaki was last set in January 2025 and published in the official tariff ordinance. It is binding for all taxis and taxi companies within the compulsory driving area and may not be exceeded or undercut. This is ensured by officially calibrated taximeters installed in the taxis.

How the fare is made up under the Kawasaki taxi rate:

The Kawasaki taxi tariff sets out clear rules for how passengers are charged. The fare is different depending on the time of day. During the daytime, from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm each day, the base fare for a ride is ¥550. This base fare covers the first 1.00 km of the journey. If you travel more than 1.00 km, there is an additional charge of ¥875 for each further kilometer. If the taxi is stopped or moving very slowly, there is a waiting time charge of ¥3,000 per hour.

At night, from 10:00 pm to 5:00 am, the Kawasaki taxi tariff uses a different price. The base fare during these hours is ¥660. Just like during the daytime, this fare covers the first 1.00 km travelled. After this distance, there is an extra charge of ¥875 per additional kilometer. The waiting time charge remains the same at ¥3,000 per hour.

To calculate the cost of a taxi ride using the Kawasaki taxi tariff, first check the time of day to know which base fare applies. Add the per-kilometer charge for any distance over 1.00 km. If there is a delay and the taxi must wait, remember there is a charge for waiting time as well. All prices are given in JPY (¥) and rounded to two decimal places for clarity.
