East Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd., Central Expressway Co., Ltd., West Expressway, Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "NEXCO Three Companies") and Miyagi Prefectural Highway Public Corporation will be closed on Saturdays and Sundays from April 6, 2020 (Saturday).・On public holidays, we will implement a ``motorcycle flat rate discount'' for ETC motorcycles that use Expressway managed by the three NEXCO companies and the Miyagi Prefectural Highway Corporation.
This discount was first implemented in 2020 with the aim of stimulating demand for touring on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, when there is a lot of tourist use, promoting the use of motorcycles, and revitalizing local areas, and was very well received.
In FY2020, we have revised the distance covered by the discount from a distance of more than 100km between each interchange to a distance of more than 80km.
By having more customers take advantage of this discount, we will contribute to promoting the use of motorcycles and tourism throughout the country.
Please note that you must apply online before using the service. You can apply even just before your trip, depending on the weather on the day. Also, starting in 2020, if you plan to use the service for two (or three) consecutive days, you can now apply for it all at once, so please feel free to use it.

1. 1. Discount target date

Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays from April 6th (Saturday) to November 30th (Saturday), 2020, on which days you have applied in advance.

  • In Hokkaido, it will be held from April 6th (Saturday) to October 27th (Sunday), 2020.

2. Target vehicle

  • The roads that are not eligible for the discount are as follows.
    Daisan-Keihin Road, Yokohama-Shindo Road, Yokohama Yokosuka Road, Daini Hanna Road, Daini Shinmei Road, Kanmon Tunnel, Okinawa Road, Tokyo Wan Aqua-Line Expressway. However, the Tokyo Wan Aqua-Line Expressway does not apply the motorcycle fixed rate discount, but it is included in the judgment of mileage.
  • Please see Attachment 1 [PDF: 872KB] for details on roads eligible for discounts.

Four. Discount details

37.5% discount for driving on eligible roads where the distance traveled between each interchange exceeds 80km.

  • 1回の走行とは、原則、入口から出口まで高速道路を流出することなく走行することを言います(本線料金所等を通過する場合を含みます)。ただし、特定のインターチェンジ又は料金所(以下「インターチェンジ等」と言います。)及び新直轄区間等を経由して対象道路を乗り継ぐ場合は、1回の走行とみなして各対象道路の走行距離を合算します。詳細は別紙2【PDF:248KB】をご確認ください。
  • If there are multiple routes between the interchanges you use, the cheapest fare will be applied, so the discount will be determined based on the distance of the shortest route, not the actual mileage. Please check the distance used to determine the discount on the "distance and fee search site" before using.

please note

  • If your usage meets the application requirements for holiday discounts and late-night discounts, the lowest discount after discount will be applied.
  • Discounts apply to all trips that exceed 80km (it is not determined based on the total distance traveled on the day of use).
  • Please use the target road with a motorcycle equipped with the ETC card and ETC on-board unit registered at the time of application. If you use a motorcycle with an ETC card or ETC on-board unit that is different from the one you registered, you will be required to pay the regular rate (if the ETC time zone discount is applied, the discounted rate).
  • Unlike cars, motorcycles are easily affected by the weather such as wind and rain, and there is nothing to protect the body in the event of an accident, so even a small accident can lead to a serious accident. Before using the Expressway, please check the weather forecast and cooperate for a safe and comfortable drive.
