Sapporo

Taxis in Sapporo are a reliable and safe mode of transportation, readily available around the city centre and at designated taxi waiting areas such as airports and major hotels. Each taxi is equipped with a meter that clearly indicates the fare. If a taxi accepts credit cards, this will be visibly marked on the window. It's advisable to know your destination before stopping a taxi, as the postal address system in Sapporo can be complex. Having the address written down to show the driver is a good practice to avoid confusion. In addition to traditional taxis, several ride-sharing apps are available in Sapporo. Uber, although not as widespread as in some other countries, can still be used. DiDi is another popular ride-hailing service in Japan that operates in the city. For those looking to connect with traditional taxi services through an app, JapanTaxi is one of the largest taxi-hailing apps in Japan and is widely used in Sapporo.
