Question
I just arrived in Tokyo on a business trip and need to get a taxi quickly from my hotel to the meeting location. I’m not sure how to ask the hotel staff to call a taxi for me. How do I ask “Can you call a taxi for me?” in Japanese?

タクシーを呼(よ)んでもらえますか。
Takushii o yondemoraemasu ka?
Can you call a taxi for me?

This phrase is very useful when you need assistance from someone to call a taxi. “Yonde” is the te-form of “yobu,” which means “to call,” and “moraemasu ka” is a polite way to ask if someone can do something for you.

If you need to change the type of service, just replace “Takushii” (taxi) with what you need, such as “Densha” (train) or “Basu” (bus), and you can ask for assistance accordingly.

This phrase could simplify your communication, ensuring you reach your destination smoothly.
