Question
I’m planning to go to Japan for a business trip soon, and I want to make a good impression. How do I appropriately ask someone “Could you please call me a taxi?” in Japanese if I don’t yet know the local transport apps very well?

Takushii o yonde itadakemasu ka?
Could you please call me a taxi?
When on a business trip, it’s crucial to be polite. The phrase “yondemoraemasuka” means “could you call” in a polite manner. “Takushii” means “taxi”. Adding “itadakemasu ka” elevates the politeness, making it suitable for business contexts.
This expression can be used in hotels or offices when you need someone to arrange transportation for you. Keep this phrase handy for making seamless travel arrangements.
