According to the questionnaire results of customers using the Nagano Expressway, many people said that the scenery seen from the train window was beautiful. For this reason, we created a commemorative logo mark for the 30th anniversary of the opening of the entire line, imagining the snowy mountains, terraced rice fields, and the moon of Tagoto, which represent the Nagano Expressway.
In the future, it will be used for various promotional materials such as a special website and posters.
