NEXCO EAST (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) is offering "Dorawari" discounts in collaboration with local areas to stimulate tourism demand.
This year, Dorawari's "Winter Pass 2026" (hereinafter referred to as "this product"), which offers discounts on Expressway tolls exclusively to ETC-equipped vehicles, will go on sale from 2:00 p.m. today, Tuesday, November 11th.
This product offers discounts on Expressway tolls from departure and arrival areas in the Tokyo metropolitan area, Sendai, and Niigata to destination areas with interchanges closest to the slopes, and we have prepared an even more advantageous "set plan ^*" when combining the "round-trip plan" with accommodation or a lift ticket. (*Set plans require separate accommodation or lift ticket fees in addition to the retail price.)
In addition, this season the usage period for this product has been extended until late April, the number of days for which all "Set Plans" can be used has been increased to three days, and "Set Plans" departing from and arriving in the Tokyo metropolitan area have been revised to include one round trip from the departure/arrival area to the destination area and unlimited use of Expressway within the destination area.
In addition, we are collaborating with eligible ski resorts, accommodation facilities, hot spring facilities, tourist facilities, service areas, and parking areas in the area of your destination to offer special preferential benefits such as discounts and giveaways when you complete a survey.
In addition, if you apply for and use this product only on weekdays, we are currently running a campaign in which you will receive an additional 15% of the product's sales price in ETC mileage points, so please take advantage of this offer.
In addition, the "Yuzawa, Minakami, Numata Plan" that was implemented until last year was announced to the press on the same day as a new product exclusively for ETC-equipped vehicles, the "Shift Your Travel Time and Save in Winter! Kanetsu Relax Pass," which aims to allow people to avoid Expressway more comfortably.
