NEXCO EAST Niigata Regional Head Office (Chuo-ku, Niigata City) will be running a web game called "Go to the Echigo Road" to help people enjoy driving on Expressway of Niigata Prefecture.
This game can be enjoyed using a smartphone, and involves visiting designated service areas (SA) and parking areas (PA) to collect "map pieces" and complete a map of Niigata Prefecture.
This time, in addition to SA and PA, Sado Island has been registered as a new target location on the map pieces, with the aim of supporting the registration of "Sado Island Gold Mine" as a World Heritage Site.
After registering, everyone who meets the simple conditions will receive a coupon that can be used at SA and PA. In addition, we have added more prizes than last time, such as the Sado Island Prize and Dorawari Prize, which can be applied for by meeting the various conditions.
Please join us in this game as you enjoy driving on Expressway and aim to complete the map.
