Nice info
I think the GO app need a Japanese phone number to activate?
Never took one in my six previous trips to Japan. Maybe in the next one will take one just for the experience.
When you miss the last train and need a taxi ride home and it cost a bajilllion just to get back home 😂
When you miss the last train….
I wanna go to the land of the rising sun
Very helpful!
Please don't ride taxi, it's expensive cost 30 000 yen
I have go app but i dont use it.
Please do busses next, I'm terrified of them 😀
Yes especially when you overbuy 😂
Does GO work for tourists? We tried that last March, and it was asking for a Japanese mobile number.
I needed this info! Thank you!
Country side and small cities yes, Tokyo, NO. They tried to rip me off during the day by taking the long way twice until I began speaking Japanese to them. Then, when I asked for their business card they just let me off the cab and drove off.
I feel like this video is luring people into trusting taxis will be readily available in the countryside, and can be always be hailed through the GO app. Neither is true. It can be very hard to find a taxi in the countryside and they often call it a day even before the last train arrives in their town. And the GO app doesn't serve all areas. Although they claim to serve 45 of the 47 prefectures, in Shikoku (for which they say all 4 prefectures are served) it told me I'm out of the services area everywhere, even in central Takamatsu which has plenty of taxis.
Thank you! That's what I needed to know. App is now already installed.
