We found out that we just missed the bus, so we decided to take a cab instead. Before boarding, I asked the driver roughly how much would it cost to go to Daiichi hotel? He replied "1910yen" confidently. I was puzzled why did he quoted such a number and not a general number like 2000yen or something...but anyway, since it's around 2000yen so we just boarded.

Upon arriving at the hotel itself, our cab fare was 1910yen EXACTLY!!! Yes, we did saw the meter jump along the way so it wasn't a fixed price. This driver must be driving this route so many times he knows the price so well. Haha.
