NEXCO EAST Kanto Regional Head Office (Taito-ku, Tokyo, Regional Head Office length: Shinichi Ishikawa) and Trans-Tokyo Bay Highway Co. (Ota-ku, Tokyo, President: Aono Toshihito), the Tokyo Wan Aqua-Line Expressway explore the secrets of the "Aqua line expedition・"Premium" will be held on Tuesday, August 12, and we will recruit 75 expedition members to participate.

The AQUALINE expedition team is equipped with a "emergency tunnel for tunnels" built under the sea surface of Tokyo Bay (the highest point: about 60 m below the sea surface) and a fire disaster in an undersea tunnel to prepare for emergency situations. This is an exploration of "systems", where you will see facilities and equipment that you cannot normally see.

In this expedition, with the cooperation of the Coast Guard Headquarters of the Japan Coast Guard, you will also be able to experience the aqua line from the sea as well as to experience the "Awanami" patrol boat of the Chiba Coast Guard.

In addition, since we received a large number of applications for the Aqualine Expedition last year, we will hold it on August 20th (Monday) and 22nd (Wednesday) this year as well. We are recruiting 40 people each day. The expedition route is the same as for the "Aqualine Expeditionary Party-Premium", but for a tour from the sea, you will board an aqualine inspection ship.

  • Aqualine exploration from the sea may be canceled in a hurry, depending on the conditions of the waves. In addition, please note that the experience boarding may be canceled in the event of an emergency dispatch to the Japan Coast Guard due to a marine accident, etc.
