In Mie Prefecture, it is difficult to hail a regular taxi by standing on the street and raising your hand.
There are taxi stands at the primary train stations.
When passengers approach most taxis in Japan, either the left rear door will open automatically.
Get in the taxi after the door opens and tell the driver your destination.
When getting out of the cab, check the fare shown on the meter in the front and pay the driver.
The large majority of taxi drivers in Japan speak only Japanese. It would be convenient to take a written note in Japanese with your destination and other information that had been prepared in advance.
