Japan itself is unique. For its culture, food, people and traditions. Its uniqueness stems from its remarkable ability to blend deep-rooted traditions with cutting-edge modernity.

And just as Japan seamlessly blends tradition and modernity in its landscapes, culture, and cuisine, DiDi Mobility Japan embodies a one-of-a-kind collaboration within our family — a powerful joint venture between DiDi's technology and SoftBank's local expertise. 

As a result, the Taxi-hailing service was launched in Osaka in September of 2018. Now, with approximately 10M app downloads, DiDi operates in 17 prefectures, including Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa, Fukuoka, and Hokkaido.
