Taxis with yellow placard on front grill have permit to enter base & many drivers at JR station will ask foreigners if going to "base-u?" to ensure a permitted cab is used.

By bus
Buses run often & until about 11:30 PM; they are very safe, clean & modern; many bus routes go either to and/or from train stations to connect the transportation network. They cost about ¥170-¥300 on average.
At train stations, there will be a master bus map in front of bus stops showing the different routes with bus numbers. This bus number will only stop at one of several bus stops in front of the station or near the station. Each stop has a large sign that lists all the buses & schedules for that stop.
Along the road, bus stops are usually spaced out several blocks apart & are denoted by a white round sign or 4-sided square sign, sometimes lit. Bus drivers are very conscientious to look and stop for passengers waiting. The bus stops will be announced along the route and show on an electronic display. Passengers push the "stop" button located at every seat to indicate their stop.
Get on at the door halfway down the bus & get off at the front door. It's easiest to pay with Pasmo/Suica contactless smart cards, but if using cash, take the small-white ticket from the dispenser as you enter, paying the amount displayed on the price screen which corresponds to the number on your ticket. Place the white ticket and change in the same slot on top of machine next to driver). Buses will make change for 1000 yen notes & 100 yen coins. Bus drivers will often help you make the change.
