The taxi industry is very regulated in Japan, so the Uber, Grab, Lyft, etc. business model is basically not allowed.. And I would imagine the number of private people with a car wanting to drive strangers is pretty low. But let's not turn this thread in to an ride sharing technicality thread.

Suffice to say, the Uber App will book a car to go between the airports it will set the rider back 28K+ yen.
