Who needs air-conditioning when a simple taxi ride is enough to leave you frozen in fear for the rest of the summer?
There are countless ways in which people try to combat the summer heat, from portable electric fans to shoveling mountains of ice cream into their mouths. For many Japanese people, summer is the time in which to seek something chilling using a much more paranormal method. There has long been an association with summertime and stories of ghosts and ghouls, whereby they are crafted to create long-lasting psychological chills. Nowadays, countless obakeyashiki (haunted houses) pop-up around the country, aiming to thrill and frighten visitors. However, one company has decided to take it a step further, taking you to real-life locations that are said to be haunted for a supernatural pilgrimage designed to send shivers down your spine.
▼ Even an innocent park could hide dark secrets.
From the taxi service who has brought us some wonderful themed packages, such as the historical aristocrat driver and the ninja taxi driver, comes Sanwa Kotsu’s latest installment of their Haunted Spot Pilgrimage Tour. Starting back in 2015, this unique tour takes brave souls to haunted locations scattered around Tokyo, Yokohama, Saitama, and beyond. It has become such a wildly popular event that thousands of applications for the lottery are submitted every year, with 2024 seeing a crazy 38-to-1 rate of applicants to available spots. Interestingly, the number of women that participate in the tour is overwhelming, as well as many couples choosing it as a good date-night activity.
▼ Are women more likely to seek paranormal thrills than men?
The taxi tour for 2025 has five areas on offer, each with their own special flavor.
● Yokohama (Abyss Course) – Fear Level: 6, Tour Time: 7 hours
The original route has now been upgraded with even scarier stops. Participants should expect eerie, shadowy sites only locals whisper about in addition to the famous ones.
● Tama/Hachioji (Reiwa 7 Endless Waltz Course) – Fear Level: 7, Tour Time: 8 hours
Featuring remote mountain roads and bone-chilling legends, this is the tour’s most terrifying course to date.
● Fujimino (Hell Course) – Fear Level: 6, Tour Time: 3 hours 45 minutes
Compact but intense, this Saitama route packs a punch in just under four hours.
● Fuchu (Extreme Course) – Fear Level: 4, Tour Time: 3 hours
A new addition, exploring infamous and rarely visited haunted sites in western Tokyo.
● Tokyo (All-night Course) – Fear Level: ???, Tour Time: Until sunrise
Finally back after a five-year break, this ultimate endurance test takes you through Tokyo’s most gloomy and oppressive haunted locations until the following morning.
While the application period for the lottery has passed, ending on July 11, and the lucky winners have been announced, thrill seekers who thrive on spooky events will be able to get a glimpse of what this tour consists of from the videos of some previous participants.
Sanwa Kotsu have also partnered up with Dwango, the company behind popular Japanese video-sharing platform Niconico to air an eight-night livestream series. The first four episodes have already been aired, but if you want to catch the next four, they will be shown on August 8, 9, 15, and 16, with an additional spinoff on August 29. The broadcast time will be from 10:00 p.m. to around 3:00 a.m (JST, UTC+9), so if you’re a fan of paranormal activity, grab some snacks and prepare for some late-night scares.
▼ Who knows what might appear?
If you’re interested in learning more about some of Japan’s haunted spots and are frustrated you can’t go on the tour, there’s a handy site called Ghost Map that documents them, their level of fear, what type of spirits appear there, and the location’s history.
Or if it’s the personal experience of thrills that you want, and you can’t wait until next year’s taxi tours, there’s a multitude of haunted houses out in Japan for you to explore. Just… don’t look behind you.

Taxi company makes the dream of being chauffeured around by a Heian-era aristocrat a reality.
Don’t you sometimes feel that travel can be so mundane? Have you ever considered adding a little bit of nobility to spice up an otherwise ordinary journey? Sanwa Kotsu, the creators of such novelty taxi rides as the fencing taxi driver and the ninja taxi driver, certainly seem to think so with their latest offering to their collection of themed services: the kuge taxi driver.
The kuge were a Japanese aristocratic class that served the emperor and imperial family in the Heian period (794-1185), and were heavily involved in developing the court culture, from poetry to the tea ceremony. So, with such a noble personage at your service, you might just feel like an emperor yourself.
Being highly instrumental in the development of Japanese culture, don’t be surprised if they stop part way to burst into dance or compose a haiku (not while actually driving, of course).
▼ Some of the features of the kuge driver service
There’s no concern to be had over safety. Each ride includes a pre-trip safety check, and the kuge driver ensures a journey full of grace and politeness.
Naturally, your kuge driver will be dressed in full traditional attire, complete with the classic kanmuri headwear worn by members of the class.
However, this time-traveling driver has developed a peculiar quirk. Rather than a standard shaku (a ceremonial wooden baton), he has developed an affection for holding a wooden rice spoon.
You may wonder if Heian nobles will be able to understand contemporary languages, but there’s little need to worry. These kuge drivers have mastered modern Japanese, although their English ability remains untested.
Launched on January 23, 2025, this unique service is available by reservation only, through a dedicated booking website. So, you’ll be out of luck if you were thinking about trying to flag one down.
▼ Try as you might, the kuge only source their customers from the Internet. How modern!
That’s not to say that there aren’t lucky taxis to be found in Japan, so keep your eyes peeled.
The service is limited to the Hachioji area in Tokyo and the ride costs the standard taxi fee plus an additional service fee of 5,500 yen (US$35.80). If you want photos for social media, the driver is happy to coordinate with you for free.
Whether you’re hoping to share fun memories with friends and family, or are in love with elegant aesthetics or simply think regular taxis are too boring, a kuge taxi ride is bound to be an unforgettable experience.

Japanese taxis add Silent Mode service, activated with finger tap https://soranews24.com/2023/02/09/not-in-the-mood-for-small-talk-japanese-taxis-add-silent-mode-service-activated-with-finger-tap/ https://soranews24.com/2023/02/09/not-in-the-mood-for-small-talk-japanese-taxis-add-silent-mode-service-activated-with-finger-tap/#comments Thu, 09 Feb 2023 05:00:10 +0000 https://soranews24.com/?p=615530 
Sanwa Kotsu recognizes that not everyone who wants a ride wants a conversation too.
In theory, a taxi should be the most comfortable way to get from Point A to point B. You’re free from the stress of having to navigate and drive yourself, but also guaranteed a seat to sit down in and a lot more personal space than you’d have on a crowded train or bus.
However, taxi rides also include a potentially awkward reality: having to make small talk with your driver. Even if you’re ordinarily outgoing and social, everyone has days when they’re tired or just not in the mood for chitchat. Maybe you’re on your way to an important meeting and mentally running through your notes one more time, or maybe you’re just worn out and need a few minutes to stare out the window and relax in silence.
Whatever your reason, Japanese taxi operator Sanwa Kotsu understands, and so they’re providing the option of a quiet ride that you can initiate with a simple tap of your finger.
When you hop into one of Sanwa’s Turtle Taxi-brand cabs, you’ll see a touchscreen facing the rear seats. At the bottom left of the screen is a button labeled サイレントモード, or “Silent Mode.” Tap on that, and it relays the request to the front, letting the driver know that you’d prefer conversation-free transportation today.
The other buttons also offer ways to tailor the experience to your liking. At the top left, Turtle Taxi Mode (タートルタクシーモード) is Turtle Taxi’s signature service, a request for your driver to prioritize smoothness over speed in accelerating and braking, both for less jostling during the drive and better fuel economy/eco-friendliness. Over at the top right is the button for Toasty Mode (あったかモード), a request to turn on the heater or raise its temperature, and below it is Chilly Mode (ひんやりモード), if you’d like cooler air conditioning. Finally, at the bottom left is a button you can tap to purchase a bottle of water for 100 yen (US$0.75), a very handy service since the dropped-at-the-door nature of taxi travel means you probably won’t be passing by any of the vending machines or convenience stores that are clustered around train stations in Japan.
▼ Turtle Taxi’s bottled water
Sanwa Kotsu primarily operates in Kanagawa Prefecture, Tokyo’s neighbor directly to the south, and Silent Mode, as well as the other touchscreen-initiated requests, are being offered now on its cars garaged outside Tokyo, though there’s a chance you’ll spot some in Tokyo too if there’s on trips over the prefectural borderline.

Cab company now gives passengers option in Tokyo https://soranews24.com/2021/07/20/time-for-japan-to-start-tipping-taxi-drivers-cab-company-now-gives-passengers-option-in-tokyo/ https://soranews24.com/2021/07/20/time-for-japan-to-start-tipping-taxi-drivers-cab-company-now-gives-passengers-option-in-tokyo/#comments Tue, 20 Jul 2021 14:00:32 +0000 https://soranews24.com/?p=549616 
In no-tipping Japan, most people just pay whatever the meter says, but this company is now letting passengers pay more.
Taxi operator Sanwa Kotsu is always looking for new ways to innovate. Among the services they’ve offered are ninja drivers and, in honor of the Tokyo Olympics, drivers outfitted in fencing gear.
As of this month, though, Sanwa Kotsu is doing something that’s arguably even more unusual for a Japanese cab company by introducing a system by which passengers can tip their driver.
Japan is famously a country where tipping isn’t done, whether you’re dining in a restaurant, getting a haircut, or taking a taxi. A lot of cultural guidebooks go so far as to say that Japanese society would consider it rude to offer a tip, but it’s more accurate to say that it would be considered weird, like if you tried to offer a tip to a, say, a cashier at a department store in a tipping culture such as the U.S.
But starting July 15, Sanwa Kotsu, through a partnership with digital tip service Respo, has built a framework through which passengers can give their driver a gratuity. The company is currently conducting a customer service survey, and at the bottom of the card customers are asked to fill out is a QR code they can access with their smartphone’s camera, then select the amount they want to tip.
▼ The survey and QR code, circled in red
Surprisingly, Sanwa Kotsu says that there have been instances in the past where passengers have tipped the company’s drivers, and that its partnership with Respo provides an official “easy and casual way to say ‘thank you,’” to quote Respo’s mission statement.
It’ll be interesting to see how many people volunteer to pay above and beyond what the meter reads at the end of their ride, though. Sanwa Kotsu’s drivers’ encounters with a certain number of outliers aside, tipping taxi drivers is very much not the norm in Japan. Also worth considering is that, while some drivers might have smoother vehicle control or more polished conversation skills than others, the vast majority of Japanese cabbies are already satisfactorily skilled and polite. Especially for short jaunts around town, it’s hard to imagine what’s going to convince the average passenger that a ride warrants payment above and beyond the pricing structure for safe, courteous driving that’s been in place in Japanese society for pretty much as long as taxis have been a thing.
▼ “Wow, this guy really didn’t crash into any other cars while driving me home!”
For now, Sanwa Kotsu, which is based in Yokohama and also operates cabs in Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture, says the optional tip system is only in place for its cabs running in Tokyo’s Fuchu district on a test basis, and the company will be deciding whether or not to expand it to other areas at a later date.

Fencer Taxi begins in Tokyo, Saitama, and Kanagawa https://soranews24.com/2021/05/03/en-garde-fencer-taxi-begins-in-tokyo-saitama-and-kanagawa/ https://soranews24.com/2021/05/03/en-garde-fencer-taxi-begins-in-tokyo-saitama-and-kanagawa/#comments Mon, 03 May 2021 01:00:21 +0000 https://soranews24.com/?p=541088 
“Pointless” you say? Touché…
Even before the pandemic had kneecapped much of their business, Japanese taxi companies have long embraced novel theme cabs as a way to drum up extra business. From sleeping beauty taxis to instant noodle cabs, there have already been scores of creative ideas touring the streets.
They usually have some underlying logic. For example, Kit Kat taxis were deployed during university entrance exam season because the candy bar’s name sounds a lot like the Japanese phrase for “certainly succeed” (kitto katsu).
And then there are some that feel logic is overrated, such as Fencer Taxi. This service began on 19 April and charges a base fare of 5,500 yen (US$50) for the privilege of been driving around by a guy in full PPE – fencing PPE that is, not the other kind you always hear about in the news.
It should be noted that the driver is a professional taxi driver, not a professional fencer, though it’s probably best that way. That being said, the driver is quite knowledgeable in the ways of fencing and can answer your questions about the sport to some extent. He will also treat passengers with all the grace and civility of a proper man of arms.
By now you might be thinking, “this is certainly pointless,” and not even know how right your are!
Thanks to Japan’s stringent sword control laws, it’s very hard to prowl around the city with a replica épée, foil, or sabre, let alone a real one. So Fencer Taxi took a real foil and cut off the blade so that it literally “has no point” at all anymore. Just how difficult it is to cut one of those things can be seen in the following making-of video.
So it would seem for the whole ride, you just kind of have to imagine the blade. However, during trips that cover the Tokyo, Kanagawa, and Saitama area, if at some point the driver doesn’t check the oil and then do a few fancy moves with the dipstick, it’d be a huge waste.
▼ C’mon man! Pull it out!
There are also other services such as bottled water, umbrellas, and facemasks sold at nominal prices. The driver will also be more than happy to pose for photos for people who want to post on social media which really seems to be the target market that Fencer Taxi’s parent company Sanwa Kotsu is lunging for with all this.
It’s also a nice little way to get into the spirit of the Tokyo Olympics, that will probably…maybe happen soon. Considering how hard it’s been to do that recently, every little bit helps.

Keep your saliva in your mouth, not on things other people are going to touch, taxi company says.
Yokohama-based cab company Sanwa Kotsu has an undeniable quirky, fun-loving side to it. This is, after all, the company that offers Tokyo-area taxi rides driven by ninja and “pretend-they’re-not-there” kabuki stagehands.
But Sanwa Kotsu is still a legitimate company, and a Japanese one. That means a commitment to sparkling customer service and proper business decorum, and so the company has recently installed a new employee policy regarding proper document-handling protocol. The company wants to be as transparent as possible regarding this change in worker regulations, and so it’s shared a photo of the memo that’s being circulated to its employees through the official Sanwa Kotsu Twitter account.
先程、弊社の全職員宛に
通達メールが届きました。
何か重大通達かと思いきや…＿人人人人人人人人＿
＞ 激しく同意…！ ＜
￣Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y￣
(２号) pic.twitter.com/g6Kq6SGTEn— サンワさん＠三和交通 (@sanwa_taxi) November 22, 2019
The stern-looking memo reads:
November 22, 2019
To: All individuals affiliated with Sanwa Kotsu
Notification:
From this point forward, the following actions are prohibited when handling any documents or papers:The application to the fingertips of transparent liquids secreted by the salivary glands, oral muciparous glands, or elsewhere in the oral cavity to the fingertips prior to the repagination of paper documents or currency.
This policy is to be thoroughly communicated to all employees.
– Sanwa Kotsu Corp. General Headquarters
Or, in simpler language: Sanwa Kotsu is officially prohibiting its office workers from licking their fingertips when leafing through papers, and also their drivers from licking their fingers before counting out the bills they give customers as change, on the grounds that it’s gross to make someone else indirectly touch your spit.
While Sanwa Kotsu hasn’t receive any direct complaints from customers regarding finger-licking, the company itself decided to officially codify the practice as nasty, and online commenters are already thanking them for it, reacting with:
“Such an elegant way of phrasing the new rule.”
“I wish my company would put out a notice like this.”
“And the library too.”
“There seriously are some taxi drivers who slobber all over their fingers before they give you your change. I haven’t encountered any Sanwa drivers who do that though.”
Oh, and while the new policy only specifically mentions paper-based items, we’re sure that in practice it’ll extend to the crossbows Sanwa Kotsu gives customers for its taxi cab archery promotion too.

Two awesome reasons to skip Japan’s train network and take a taxi instead.
In Japan, the rail network is efficient enough that you really have to have a compelling reason to take a taxi over a train, so when does that choice make sense? If you’re headed to a destination that’s far away from the nearest station, obviously. Or if you’re travelling in a large group, splitting the cost of a cab can be more economical than each person buying a train ticket. Oh, and if you want a ninja to assist you in getting from Point A to Point B, once again, a taxi is the way to go, provided it’s operated by Sanwa Kotsu.
Yes, the Yokohama-based taxi company is back again with a new set of themed cabs, one of which is the Ninja Taxi. While the vehicle itself is standard-spec, your driver will be dressed head to toe in the garb of Japan’s mythical shadow warriors, and will also pepper his speech with period appropriate classical Japanese vocabulary, making the ride a treat for history buffs and linguistics fans alike.
On the other hand, if you prefer your personal protector to project a more contemporary, yet no less capable, aura, Sanwa is also offering what it calls an “SP-style Taxi.”
In Japanese, “SP” is used as an abbreviation for “security police,” and refers to the security details that accompany high-ranking politicians and other VIPs on their way to and from meetings with other power brokers. The SP-style taxi driver, appropriately, is armed at all times, as underneath his suit is a shoulder holster with a concealed pistol. Granted it’s a water pistol, but should a squirt gun battle break out on the way to your destination, you’ll be in good hands (plus you’ll get to feel a little like the emperor of Japan).
Both services launched on June 11, just in time for the start of the summer travel season, and serve as successors to Sanwa’s previous kabuki and horseback archery-themed taxis. However, even Sanwa isn’t quite playful enough to convert its entire fleet into ninja and SP cabs, so you’ll want to contact the company and request a pickup in one of the special taxis, which you can do through its website or with the help of your hotel’s front desk staff.

With their drivers’ faces hidden, these taxis are a peek into Japanese theater culture.
With their white-gloved drivers, automatically opening rear doors, and doily-decorated interiors, Japanese taxis are a unique slice of the country’s modern culture. But Yokohama-based taxicab operator Sanwa Kotsu, which also serves the Tokyo area, occasionally likes to add in a dash of traditional culture to its services as well.
Previously, Sanwa Kotsu let passengers engage in a bit of yabusame horseback archery-inspired target shooting from the back of its cars, and now it’s offering the pageantry of kabuki and other classic forms of Japanese stage art with its new Kuroko Taxi service.
Kuroko are the stagehands employed in Japanese theater productions, most commonly seen in kabuki and bunraku puppet plays (and, if you’re a fan of 1990s-era fighting video games, the Neo Geo hit Samurai Shodown). Dressed from head to toe in black, including a cloth face cover, kuroko’s monochrome outfits are supposed to be interpreted as not being part of the scene, and so audiences are supposed to ignore their presence and focus on the actors, scenery, and props. The irony, however, is that kuroko attire is so iconic as to be instantly recognizable.
▼ Sanwa promises that the drivers are always smiling, even if you can’t see their mouths.
Just like their stage counterparts, Sanwa Kotsu’s Kuroko Taxi drivers remain completely silent, greeting passengers with a written welcome to the cab.
As such, the company recommends the service not only for those who want a memorable, uniquely Japanese journey, but also those who just aren’t in the mood for small talk. But while the kuroko drivers won’t be doing any speaking, they are equipped to understand your words, as their cabs are outfitted with Google translation-compatible technology that allows them to understand more than 100 languages, including English, Sanwa Kotsu says.
▼ Keeping the car as clean as his clothes.
Oh, and don’t worry. When the car is in motion, the drivers remove their face covers in order to properly see their surroundings and ensure you get to your destination safely.
Given the niche marketing, Kuroko Taxis are available by reservation, with the online form found here.
