Before the ride: what will it cost to get there? During the ride: the fare climbs step by step, the way a Japanese taxi meter counts. Taxi Meter uses the official fare tables of 21 regions of Japan. Fare to your destination Search a place and the app takes the route and travel time from Apple Maps and gives the fare as a range, for example ¥3,900–4,600. Every item is listed: initial fare, distance, waiting at lights and in traffic, night surcharge, pickup fee; tolls are shown as extra. Switch expressways on or off and pick a departure time. Without location access, type the start yourself. A meter that feels like the real one GPS measures distance and slow time, and the seven-segment digits roll with each step. The step tape under the fare shows how many metres (or, when stopped, seconds) are left until the next ¥100. Vacant, pickup, hired, expressway and pay work like the meter's own keys. Breakdown and splitting At Stop & pay the fare is split into initial fare, distance, time, surcharge, pickup fee and tolls, and the app divides the total between riders. Share the result as a meter-style picture.

How it counts Initial fare and distance steps, time instead of distance at 10 km/h or slower, the 22:00–5:00 night surcharge by shortened distances, expressway mode and pickup fee. During a ride the meter keeps counting with the screen locked and resumes if the app was closed.

Location becomes distance on your phone and routes are never stored. Destination search and routes use Apple Maps. Please note Fares are estimates and can differ from what a driver charges. This is not a certified meter and must never be used to charge passengers; carrying paying passengers without a licence is illegal in Japan. Do not touch the phone while driving: start it before you set off or let a passenger use it.
