I would like to travel in Japan and I want to take a taxi for a trip.
Is it expensive?
 
Depends on what your standards are. It is probably prohibitively expensive when compared to other Asian countries.
 
Taxis are not cost-effective for sightseeing. The trains are a lot cheaper, especially if one gets a JR Rail Pass and uses it wisely.
 
What's the price of JR pass

I only stay a week, how much of the weekly JR pass?

For the 7-day pass for all of Japan, about $230-$250 U.S. It is great if you plan to go places on the bullet trains.
 
I agree with ArmandV. Taxis are way too expensive for sightseeing. Your best, and cheapest, bet would be to use the 7-day rail pass as suggested. You would be broke after sightseeing one day in Japan by Taxi!
 
ooh....

I think the living standard in Japan is very high
In Hong Kong, 1 day pass for MTR is around US 6 dollars

For example.
I go round noted places of Nara, and it is a course for five hours.
A rate is 28,000 yen.
(station wagon, To nine people)
It is 3,112 yen per one.
You are quite correct Nagashima-san. It is quite cheap travelling by taxi in a group. I forgot about that. Thanks for bringing it up. However, I think this poster is travelling alone or with one other. But, if they are travelling in a group, then taxi would be the easiest way to sightsee and quite inexpensive by comparison.

Have you thought of how large Hong Kong is and how large Japan is, hmm? Just Tokyo itself is about twice the size of HK.
