GO / Taxi app for Japan

Taxi booking across Japan

GO / Taxi app for Japan lets users request taxis from a phone instead of looking for one on the street. It is suited to residents, business travellers and visitors who need a practical way to arrange rides in Japan. The service operates across all 47 prefectures, including Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.

Booking and payment options

Users can enter a pickup point and destination in the app, helping the driver receive the trip details before collection. Rides can be arranged for immediate pickup or booked ahead, with reservations available from 15 minutes to seven days in advance. The app also supports in-app card payment, while cash remains an option where supported.

• Set the destination before the taxi arrives.
• Track the vehicle and view its estimated arrival time.
• Use scheduled bookings when a later pickup is more convenient.
• Choose airport transfer services with flat-rate options for Haneda and Narita routes.

Useful for different types of trips

GO includes standard taxi booking for everyday journeys and GO PREMIUM in Tokyo for users who need larger luxury vans and professional drivers. The premium service can accommodate groups of up to six people. Destination entry and English-language support can also make the app easier to use for travellers who do not speak Japanese.
