Taking a taxi and arriving

Just swap in a different place name and they're ready to use; the last two are for before you get out.

1. 東京駅とうきょうえきまでお願ねがいします。

   To Tokyo Station, please.

   「〜までお願いします」= "to ..., please." Once you've said the place name, just add this phrase — that's enough, no need for a full sentence.

2. ここまでお願ねがいします。

   I'd like to go here, please.

   If you can't get the place name across, just show the driver the address or a map on your phone, and this sentence is the easiest one to pair with it.

3. 空港くうこうまでどのくらいかかりますか。

   How long will it take to get to the airport?

4. トランクを開あけてください。

   Could you open the trunk, please?

   In Japanese taxis, the rear doors are opened and closed remotely by the driver, so don't pull them yourself; for luggage, ask the driver to open the trunk.

5. ここでいいです。

   Here is fine.

   When you arrive, say this to have the driver pull over — it sounds more natural than 「止めてください」.

6. 領収書りょうしゅうしょをください。

   Could I get a receipt, please?

Tell the driver your destination, switch to showing it on your phone when asked to repeat, and get out when you arrive.

1. driver

   どちらまでですか。

   Where are you headed?

   The driver's first line after you get in. どちら is more polite than どこ.
2. Passenger

   新宿しんじゅくのホテルまでお願ねがいします。

   To a hotel in Shinjuku, please.
3. driver

   え、どちらのホテルですか。

   Huh? Which hotel?

   Don't panic if the driver asks back — there are many hotels with the same name, and the driver is just confirming exactly which one.
4. Passenger

   すみません、これを見みてください。

   Sorry, could you take a look at this?
5. driver

   ああ、分わかりました。

   Ah, got it.
6. driver

   お客きゃくさん、着つきましたよ。

   We're here.

   「お客さん」is how drivers and shop staff address their customers; it's not a word you use to refer to yourself.
7. Passenger

   ここでいいです。ありがとうございました。

   Here's fine. Thank you very much.
