Taxi fare in Tokyo has been increased. (from December 2007)

Standard fares now start at 710 yen per the first 2 km (1.25 miles)
and then 90 yen per 288m additional or 105 seconds of waiting time.
A late-night 20% surcharge is applied to all fares during the
10pm - 5am period.  (used to be 30% surcharge during 11pm-5am)

Also from January 2008, ALL taxis in Tokyo became
'NON-SMOKING'.

If you are a smoker (like myself...),
I recommend you to carry a pocket ashtray.
You can purchase at most convenience stores.
