Furano Taxi, Ltd. is the largest-scale taxi company in the Furano area. We also
have introduced the Triangular Interpreter System, the first one of its kind in
Japan, which allows customers from abroad to use cellular phone-based
interpretation from their taxi. Full support for English interpretation will be
added later this year, though now only Korean and Chinese are available.
Moreover, we have moved quickly to adopt terminal-equipped taxis, which allow
our customers to pay by credit card. We have also set up multilingual Web sites
to help eliminate any worries about the distance, time, or fare required for
your transportation needs. It is our sincere hope that our taxi service will
make your travels in the Furano area comfortable and stress-free.
