Arrive like you’re expected.
A name board with your name in the arrival lobby. A home already waiting. A bilingual human on WhatsApp until you’re settled. HarukaBase turns landing in Japan into the easiest part of your trip.
🛬 Final approach · Narita, 23:40Not a taxi company. Your first friend in Japan.
Landing in a country where you can’t read the signs, at midnight, with two suitcases — that’s the moment everything can go wrong. We exist for exactly that moment.
Land with a home — and a desk — waiting.
Before your flight even leaves, our local Japanese staff shortlist share houses, apartments or homestays that match your budget and commute — and handle the application paperwork in Japanese.
Touchdown to home, in four moves.

Delays, cancellations & fees.
Flight delay adjustment.
If your flight is delayed, we adjust to your new arrival time where possible. For typical delays there are no extra charges such as driver waiting fees or parking.
Overnight delays.
If a long delay pushes arrival past midnight, the booking is treated as cancelled and the taxi fare is fully refunded. (The support fee is non-refundable.)
Cancellation policy.
If the pickup cannot be provided for reasons other than your own, the taxi fare is fully refunded.
Last-minute booking: within 7 days of arrival + ¥1,000 · within 3 days + ¥2,000
Why a support fee? It covers taxi booking, advance coordination to avoid extra costs (waiting, parking, tolls), real-time support on the day, English communication, and help if something goes wrong.
