Starting Saturday, April 5, 2025 East Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd., Central Nippon Expressway Company Limited, West Nippon Expressway Company Limited (hereinafter referred to as the "Three NEXCO Companies"), and Miyagi Prefectural Road Public Corporation will implement a "Fixed Rate Motorcycle Discount" that will provide a fixed rate discount on tolls for ETC motorcycles that use Expressway managed by the Three NEXCO Companies and Miyagi Prefectural Road Public Corporation on weekends and holidays.

This discount has been implemented every year since 2022 with the aim of stimulating touring demand on weekends and holidays when tourism is common, promoting the use of motorcycles and revitalizing the local area, and was very well received last year as well.
To use the service, you must apply in advance online. However, taking into account the weather on the day, you can also apply via smartphone just before your trip, so please feel free to use the service.

Four. Discount details

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

• In principle, one trip refers to driving from the entrance to the exit Expressway without exiting (including passing through the main line toll gates, etc.). However, if you transfer to a target road via a specific interchange or toll gate (hereinafter referred to as "interchange, etc.") or a new direct section, etc., it will be considered as one trip and the distance traveled on each target road will be added together. For details, please see Appendix-2 [PDF: 241KB].
• 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.

• 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.

<Running example>

• The discounted charges will be rounded to the nearest 10 yen.
