cost of taxi from Abashiri

on 19 June I want to rent a taxi from Abashiri Port to Utoro and on to Shiretoko National Park. and return to Abashiri port. Full day of sightseeing. How much will a taxi cost, and how many people in a taxi. Also are there mini vans available so I can get more people to join me.

Would http://uu-hokkaido.com/corporate/sharibus.shtml cover most of your needs? I've seen references elsewhere that a taxi hire for the day would run to around Y45,000

this taxi company offers 3 model courses for Abashiri to Utoro

http://www.hokkaido1.ne.jp/taxi/index.html

1. Abashiri to Utoro: 16000/20000/24000 (small/medium/jumbo cab)
2. Utoro-Shiretoko-Utoro: 13800/16500/21000
3. Utoro to Abashiri: 16000/20000/24000

you should be able to either stitch them together or arrange a custom tour of your choice (within the same region) for about the same total price.
