About Us

Himeji Taxi Co., Ltd. was founded in 1950 and has earned the patronage of many customers as the oldest taxi company in Himeji City. I am the fourth-generation president, but the road has not always been smooth. I believe this is a gift from my predecessors, who managed their businesses in line with the times and faced various challenges. I work hard every day, believing that this is a gift from my predecessors.

The taxi industry has long been called in decline. In a world where most current jobs will be mechanized in 20 years, I am confident that the future of the taxi driver profession, where you can directly deliver the “heart of a person,” is bright.

We believe that meeting all needs, such as universal driver training that is friendly to everyone and tourist driver training with an eye toward inbound tourism, is the foundation of the taxi industry’s development, and we intend to continue to hone our skills together with our employees. We appreciate your continued guidance and support.

　Initiatives for the SDGs

In 2015, the 193 member states of the United Nations unanimously adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aiming to achieve a sustainable world. These 17 SDGs and 169 specific targets require all countries to achieve them by 2030, striving to build a society where “no one is left behind.” We would like to introduce the various initiatives our company is currently undertaking.

We are actively committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We would like to introduce our activities, which not only focus on the SDGs but also on the future of society.

Operation of local demand taxis

Himeji City has many areas where public transportation is not available or is inconvenient because stations and bus stops are far away. These areas are also increasing.  Himeji Taxi Co., Ltd., together with Himeji City Hall, is operating a shared taxi service, listening to the opinions of local residents and considering what is needed.

This is an initiative that addresses “11. Sustainable urban development” in the SDGs, particularly “Sustainable urban development that leaves no one behind” and “Reducing the impact of urban residents (per capita) on the environment by paying particular attention to air quality and waste disposal.

No animal leather is used for vehicle seats

Leather products require the use of a lot of water and chemicals in the manufacturing process for processing. In consideration of not consuming excessive animal life, reducing the dangers of the manufacturing process and the burden on nature, we offer vehicles that do not use genuine leather for the seats.

This is an initiative that addresses “12. Responsible Consumption and Production,”

“14. Protect the Abundance of the Sea,” and “15. Protect the Abundance of the Land.”  In addition, many ethical vegan customers use our services.

Reduce travel by private car

Traveling by private car is very convenient, but long-distance travel emits a lot of carbon dioxide. For sightseeing and business trips, use public transportation as much as possible and leave the final trip to your destination to a taxi.

This is an initiative that addresses “13. Take concrete measures against climate change” in the SDGs.

Taxis are used to travel conveniently and in as little time as possible while reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

Environmentally friendly fuel

Taxis travel longer distances than regular vehicles. You might think they emit more greenhouse gases, but that is not actually the case.  And this is because they are  fueled by “LPG (liquefied petroleum gas),” which is a low-pollution fuel. The Japan Taxi model, which is being increasingly introduced, is an even more environmentally friendly LPG hybrid vehicle.

This is an initiative that addresses “13. Take concrete measures against climate change” in the SDGs.
