How to ask for it in a taxi
- Show the driver: 岡山駅
- Then point and say: ここまでお願いします (koko made onegai shimasu) — "please take me here".
- If asked which area: 北区, 岡山県.
- On arrival: 領収書をください (ryōshūsho o kudasai) — "please give me a receipt".
Japanese stations often have several exits that are a long walk apart, and a few share their name with a different railway company’s station nearby. Showing the kanji settles which one you mean; if you know the exit, add it in the note field ("east exit" is 東口, "west exit" is 西口).
