Tanegashima via Taxi

Although relaxing and nice to be chauffeured around, taking a taxi in Tanegashima can get very pricey. A straight ride from Nishinoomote in the north to Minimitane in the south will easily run you about 6,000 yen.

If you plan to see a lot on the island you might think about renting a car, or even better, bringing your own.

Then again for those of you with money to burn, the following is a list of a few taxi companies.
