NRT ain't Arlanda -- only tourists at Arlanda pile into a taxi and let them use the meter. I've bargained with taxis at Arlanda every time and gotten significant discounts on the spot.

As to a fixed price taxi shuttle from NRT, very likely MK taxi is your best bet.

Note that there is no tipping but toll (I believe about Y2,200) and a NRT "placard" fee (Y3,000) will be added. So the total cost will be Y22,000-24,000.

In the off season, 1/2 of a round trip ticket between the USA west coast and NRT isn't much more than that -- which is a further clue as to why people usually take the airport bus or train.
