This article contains advertising (affiliate links).

Fukuoka City, the cities of Kasuga, Onojo, Chikushino, Dazaifu, Nakagawa, Koga and Itoshima, and the towns of Kasuya District are named in the service areas of all three taxi apps: GO, Uber and DiDi. Munakata, Fukutsu and Miyawaka are not named by any of the three, and Ogori is missing only from Uber. On top of the meter fare, you pay a pickup charge and, for GO and Uber, an app booking fee (¥100 each time).

In short

All three apps: Fukuoka City, Kasuga, Onojo, Chikushino, Dazaifu, Nakagawa, Koga, Itoshima, Kasuya District and Kurume.
None of the three: Munakata, Fukutsu and Miyawaka (call a local taxi company directly).
One app missing: Ogori (GO and DiDi cover it; Uber does not list it).
Extra costs: GO and Uber charge ¥100 per booking in covered areas (Uber from September 28, 2026); DiDi adds the pickup charge to the meter fare.

Checked with official pages on October 22, 2026 (Japan time). Prices and service areas may change.

Fukuoka City, the cities around it and Kasuya District are named by all three apps. GO and DiDi write “Kasuya District” as a whole, while Uber lists the towns one by one: Umi, Sasaguri, Shime, Sue, Shingu, Hisayama and Kasuya. Uber and DiDi cover Kitakyushu City; see our page (in Japanese), Taxi apps you can use in Kitakyushu.

2. Munakata, Fukutsu and Miyawaka are not named by any app, and Ogori is missing only from Uber

The cities of Munakata, Fukutsu and Miyawaka do not appear on any of the GO, Uber or DiDi pages. If you need a car in this area, you call a local taxi company directly.

Ogori is named on the GO and DiDi pages but is not in Uber’s service-area list. If you have only one app installed, check beforehand whether your destination or your way back crosses this line.

On GO’s service-area page, Fukuoka City, Chikushino, Kasuga, Onojo, Dazaifu, Koga, Itoshima, Nakagawa, Ogori and Kasuya District carry an asterisk meaning “excluding some areas”. The excluded areas are not listed town by town on that page. Kurume has no asterisk. A separate mark for areas where ride-share vehicles operate is shown for 9 cities and districts, all except Ogori and Kurume.

3. Pickup charges and app booking fees in Fukuoka (¥100 for GO and Uber)

When you book through an app in Fukuoka, a pickup charge is added to the meter fare, and GO and Uber also charge a ¥100 app booking fee per ride in covered areas. DiDi’s booking fee for reserved orders does not apply in Fukuoka Prefecture.

GO: The app booking fee is ¥100, and whether it applies depends on the taxi company. In Fukuoka Prefecture it applies in Fukuoka City, Kasuga, Onojo, Chikushino, Dazaifu, Koga, Itoshima, Kasuya District and Nakagawa; Ogori and Kurume are not listed. Before you request a car, you can see whether the company charges it under “+ booking fee, etc.” on the “Call a taxi” screen. If you choose to pay in the car, a ¥100 handling fee is added, and for some companies the screen shows ¥200 together with the booking fee. The peak charge (about ¥30-100) is a fee for paying with GO Pay, and Fukuoka Prefecture is not in the list of areas where it applies. The cancellation fee starts at ¥500 (GO Help: app booking fee (Japanese) / GO Help: handling fee (Japanese) / GO Help: peak charge and off-peak discount (Japanese) / GO fare guide (Japanese)).

Uber: From September 28, 2026, Uber Taxi rides starting in covered areas carry a ¥100 app booking fee per booking (tax included). Rides at the fixed airport fare are excluded. In Fukuoka Prefecture the covered areas are Fukuoka City (7 wards), Kasuga, Onojo, Chikushino, Dazaifu, Koga, Itoshima, Nakagawa (written as a town in the help page), Umi, Sasaguri, Shime, Sue, Shingu, Hisayama and Kasuya. The pickup charge differs by taxi company, and some companies set none. The estimated fare shown in the app does not include the pickup charge. Before you ride, you can check it in the fare breakdown under the “i” mark after choosing the vehicle type (Uber Help: about the app booking fee (Japanese)).

DiDi: The fare is calculated by the meter in the car, with the pickup charge, expressway tolls and similar costs added. The booking fee for reserved orders (¥300-780) applies in Hokkaido, Miyagi, Hyogo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Okinawa (DiDi FAQ (Japanese)).
