Look what you get: spotless cars (no dents, dings, scratches) with white seat covers; guys that stop as soon as you put up your hand (except in Roppongi, right?); and drivers that know the area and take you to your destination. I know some will disagree but this is my nearly 20 years of experience in and around Japan. I'm happily willing to pay a more for the service here as it beats the hell out of some the very scary experiences I've had in other countries, US included.

All of them carried a gun. Considering that in Japan citizens cannot own guns, this looks to be a good method. I saw on Japanese TV that cabbies are getting robbed more recently. I hope this trend does not keeping going as it is not cool to rob a taxi driver. I knew a few cabbies in the states. All of them carried a gun.
