NEXCO EAST Saku Management Office (Saku City, Nagano Prefecture) is used by many customers as a gateway to Karuizawa and Shinshu areas. E18 Joshin-Etsu Expressway (Joshinetsu Expressway) Out-bound line Yokogawa Service Area (SA) is being developed as a model project for the "Flower and Green Yasugi Highway Garden® Project".
We would like to inform you that the English Garden Area will be opened as the first step of this project and an opening event will be held at the same time.
The English garden area is a Western-style garden with the concept of a prologue to Karuizawa and Shinshu, where you can see beautiful flowers from spring to autumn.
In the future, we will disseminate the attractiveness of Karuizawa and Shinshu through YOKOKAWA Highway Garden®, so when you go to Karuizawa or Shinshu, be sure to stop by Yokogawa SA (Out-bound line) to refresh your mind and body and feel safe and comfortable. Enjoy the drive.

In NEXCO EAST, customers are more likely to use resting facility gardens, etc., switching to a space of comfort and healing as well as creating a regional likeness and regional cooperation "Flower and Green Peaceful Highway Garden® Project Is working on.
For the maintenance of this garden, we started the "Karuizawa Green & Garden Club" with the famous gardens in Karuizawa, and we proceeded with the maintenance while receiving advice from the members as "locality".
