If you use it, the time required will increase by about 15 minutes, so please take time to go out. For detailed detours, Attachment 1 [PDF: 209KB] Please refer to. Please note that it is not possible to go to the Tokyo area from the Shin-Airport IC, so use Route 51 from National Route 295 to Teradai Interchange.
