In recent years, suspected illegal taxies (unlicensed, white-plate taxis) picking up people at the airport or tourist sites by using overseas taxi dispatch apps, etc. has been seen.

In Japan, using private vehicles and taxi dispatch apps, etc. and provide people with transportation services for price is prohibited. If you get injured while being in an unlicensed taxi, there’s a possibility that you won’t be able to get legal compensation.

Use government-permitted taxies for your safe and secure travel.

[Check the license plate!]

*Even though the license plate is white, if it has the special design of the Olympics, Rugby World Cup, etc. and green-colored frame, it is a licensed taxi.
