MK does have the lower flagfall (640 JPY but for only 1.72km instead of 2km) but their rates subsequently are the same as other taxis (90 JPY for 0.28km). They do have better surcharges (23-5 at 10% as opposed to 22-5 at 20%+) but I'm still baffled at how the rate could be anywhere close to 5000 from Roppongi...
