In Tokyo, a man hailed a cab, but language barriers limited him to just mentioning his destination. The driver nodded politely and off they went!

En route, the driver did something curious: he turned off the meter, then back on again. The passenger wondered what was up, but couldn't ask.

When they arrived, the passenger asked the welcoming committee to query the driver. The driver's response? "I took a wrong turn, adding extra kilometers to the trip. I turned off the meter because I didn't want to charge for my mistake!"

This heartwarming tale showcases Japanese values of honor, respect, and accountability. The driver's integrity shines brighter than the Tokyo lights!
