400y ($3.68 USD) for the first 1km and then 80y ($0.74 USD)/400m after that.

Wow; that's really changed since I lived in Tokyo.

Back in 2011, it was 710 JPY base fare (but I think for two kilometres?) and exchange rates were also tremendously disadvantageous for anyone USD-denominated.

It was basically 9 USD to sit down in a cab.
