Frequently asked questions
How do I tell a taxi driver in Shizuoka Prefecture where I want to go?
Show the Japanese characters rather than saying the name. Pick your destination from the 11 on this page, open its page and generate a card — the kanji is printed large with the sentence ここまでお願いします underneath.
Is Shizuoka Prefecture written 静岡県?
Yes. 静岡県 is how the prefecture is written on road signs, in addresses and on a taxi driver's navigation system. Including it on the card resolves the many place names that repeat between prefectures.
