  or oposit.  Narita - Yudanaka Shibu Onsen - 12.000 per person (5hours).  Many foreign    
  tourist and also me in person use Chuo Taxi because of - Easy English. Online booking, almost
  the same cost like trains, you don't have to change trains and worry about baggage. There is
  only one negative - it takes bit longer time.
