GO / Taxi app for Japan

Request a taxi in Japan

GO / Taxi app for Japan lets people request taxi rides from a phone instead of hailing one on the street. It is aimed at residents and visitors who want to arrange a pickup digitally, check the ride details in advance and use an app while travelling around Japan. GO Inc. develops the app, listed in the Maps & Navigation category.

Coverage and ride details

The service operates across Japan’s 47 prefectures, including areas such as Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. You can enter a destination before the taxi arrives; the app can pass it to the driver, which may help when communicating a destination in person is difficult. Advance bookings are also available, from 15 minutes to seven days ahead. Airport transfers to Haneda and Narita are among the services with flat-rate options.

Paying and choosing a ride

GO Pay lets you register a credit card for payment through the app. For travellers who need more space or are looking for a higher-end ride in Tokyo, the app also offers GO PREMIUM, with luxury vans and capacity for up to six passengers. Availability and service options can vary by location, so check the current details for your pickup area before making plans.

Ratings and current information

GO / Taxi app for Japan has a 4.5-star rating from 48,847 ratings and more than 5 million installs. Those figures offer a snapshot of its reach and user feedback, but app details can change as the developer updates the service.
