Expressway companies such as NEXCO East have announced that, from this year, holiday discounts on expressways will not be applied during Silver Week, such as the three-day weekend in September. We will consider reviewing holiday discounts for other three-day holidays starting in 2025.
In terms of express tolls, the government’s “Package of Measures to Prevent and Prevent Overtourism” (decided by the Ministerial Meeting for the Promotion of Tourism as a Nation on October 18, 2023) includes reductions in order to spread and equalize tourism demand . review the balance between holidays and weekdays, including application conditions.
For this reason, from fiscal 2022 onwards, the policy has been that holiday discounts for expressways will not be applied during long holidays such as Golden Week, Obon, and year-end and New Year holidays. We have also decided not to apply any discounts.
Expressway companies are expanding discount rates to promote weekday discounts for the “Excursion Pass,” which allows unlimited rides on expressways in certain areas. To further expand use, local governments and others are planning and sells excursion tickets in collaboration with the company.
