The city centre is big, and separated in to different 'centres'. You can walk, but distances are large, roads are wide, and ongoing building work will block your path. Furthermore, in summer it gets very hot and in winter it can drop to -35°C -31°F at night.

Metered taxi fares start at ¥6. There are also black taxis illegal, driven nowadays by anyone, male or female. Fares for these are negotiable and they definitely come in handy during rush hour when metered taxis are tough to come by. Regardless, you should never pay more than ¥20 for a ride within the city.
