East Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd., Ltd., Central Expressway Co., Ltd., and West Expressway Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "NEXCO 3 companies") are Expressway where you can freely get on and off at a fixed Expressway within the period of use. We sell sightseeing excursion discounts (hereafter referred to as "excursion passes"), and we will implement the following four initiatives to make these excursion passes even more convenient and easy to use.
(*) The excursion pass is limited to ETC vehicles and is a great value product that allows you to freely get on and off Expressway in the target area for a fixed price.

  1. Year-round excursion pass
  2. Introduction of a nationwide excursion pass search site (from 14:00 on March 17, 2023)
  3. Introduction of common membership system (scheduled for autumn 2023 or later)
  4. Continuing measures to expand use on weekdays

We will continue to work on promoting tourism by developing attractive excursion passes, so please use them.

1. You will be able to enjoy sightseeing anytime, anywhere!

Until now, there have been many products sold for a limited period of time with emphasis on seasonal and regional characteristics, so there were areas and periods where the pass could not be used. Therefore, in the future, we will develop products based on year-round sales, excluding periods such as traffic congestion periods when traffic concentration is expected.
As a result, you can enjoy sightseeing anytime, anywhere, using Expressway economically.

2. You can quickly find the excursion pass you want to use! You can choose! (From 14:00 on March 17, 2023)

We will improve accessibility by making it possible to check and compare tour passes nationwide sold by NEXCO3 companies in a list by date of use and destination.

3. Applying for a Sightseeing Pass just got easier! (Scheduled after autumn 2023)

With the introduction of a common membership system, the same membership information can be used regardless of which NEXCO3 company's excursion pass is used.
In addition, by introducing a common membership system, we will reduce the number of items that must be entered at the time of application, such as contact information, and simplify the application procedure.

Four. You can continue to use it on weekdays!

From the perspective of leveling out tourism demand, which is concentrated on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, from November 7, 2022, if you use the Amazing Pass only on weekdays, you will receive 15% ETC mileage of the selling price. We are conducting a campaign to add points for services. As a result, you can use the excursion pass, which can be used at an average of about 30% discount (*1), and with the additional points, you can use it for a total of about 40% discount. For details, please see the attached sheet [PDF: 119KB].
As a result of the implementation of this campaign, usage on weekdays has approximately doubled (*2), and the overall number of sales has been on the rise, and has been very well received. This campaign will continue for the time being after 2023, so please take advantage of it.

  1. "Average about 30%" is the average discount rate for the tour passes (4 companies total 21 plans) sold in 2019, and does not indicate the discount rate from the selling price. The actual discount rate varies depending on the section you use and the number of times you travel, so you may not get a discount of about 30% when using the Amazing Pass.
  2. 2019 Comparing November with the one-month period from November 7, 2022, the number of sales on weekdays only increased approximately 1.87 times.
