The short version

The meter starts at ¥500, which covers the first 1 km, then adds ¥100 every 232 m.
In slow traffic, below 10 km/h, it adds ¥100 every 85 s instead.
From 22:00 to 5:00 fares are 20% higher: the meter adds the same ¥100 every 193 m.
From Haneda, ask for the fixed fare to your ward: ¥7,600 to Chiyoda (Tokyo Station), ¥8,500 to Shibuya and ¥9,000 to Shinjuku. Expressway tolls are on top.
A taxi you call costs ¥500 more, and one booked for a set time another ¥500. There's no tipping.

Your route

The fares apply in the 23 wards and the cities of Musashino and Mitaka; the rest of Tokyo (Tama) has its own, slightly different fares. Haneda is inside, in Ōta ward. Narita is in Chiba, so Tokyo taxis take you there but don't pick up there.

Tokyo taxi questions

How much is a taxi from Haneda Airport to Shinjuku?

With the fixed fare, ¥9,000 by day and ¥10,700 from 22:00 to 5:00, plus expressway tolls. Ask for it at the rank. The airport page lists the fixed fare to each ward.

How much is a taxi from Tokyo to Narita Airport?

Booked ahead, Tokyo companies charge a fixed fare by zone, from ¥21,000 for the eastern wards to ¥30,000 for the western ones, plus tolls. Hailed in the street, it's the meter, which comes to more.

Can I take a Tokyo taxi from Narita?

Not on these fares. Narita is in Chiba prefecture, and the taxis at its ranks are the airport's own, with fixed fares by zone into Tokyo that the airport publishes.

Do I tip Tokyo taxi drivers?

No. The fare on the meter, plus any tolls, is all you pay. Most taxis take cards and IC cards such as Suica.

Why do the doors open by themselves?

The driver opens and closes the rear left door from the front. Wait for it rather than pulling it.
