NEXCO EAST Kanto Regional Head Office (Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture) will cooperate with the Kanto Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and related local governments to travel around silk related facilities using Expressway from October 5, 2018 (Friday). Look for Silk! "Silk Michi Stamp Rally" will be held.

The "Silk Michi Stamp Rally" is an initiative in cooperation with the "Silk Michi Wide Area Cooperation Project" implemented by the Kanto Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry. Once there were many silk fabric producing areas and businesses in various parts of the Kanto region, the “Silk Michi” route, which connects regions for the distribution of raw silk and exports overseas, has developed. We will go around the silk related facilities while following this "Silk Michi" on the Expressway.
In addition, a commemorative event will be held on October 13th (Saturday) to coincide with the stamp rally, so please join us.
