East Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd. In order to equalize tourism demand and disperse traffic, Central Japan Expressway Corporation, West Japan Expressway Corporation, Honshu-Shikoku Liaison Expressway Corporation, and Miyagi Prefecture Road Public Corporation have decided not to apply holiday discounts during periods of traffic congestion and other periods nationwide.
We have decided that from FY2025 onward, the holiday discount will not be applied to three consecutive holidays, and have decided on the dates when the holiday discount will not be applied in FY2025 (please refer to the appendix [PDF: 193KB] for specific dates of exclusion).
In the "Package of Measures to Prevent and Curb Overtourism (decided by the Ministerial Conference for the Promotion of Tourism Nation on October 18, 2023)," it was stated that in order to disperse and equalize tourism demand, the government will review the balance between holidays and weekdays, including the conditions for applying discounts.
The holiday discount will not be applied to Golden Week, Obon, year-end and New Year holidays, as well as Silver Week starting in FY2024, and this has tended to reduce traffic congestion. On the other hand, traffic concentration has also been observed on the other three consecutive holidays compared to the weekends after the holidays. As a result of discussions with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the new three-day weekend will not be applied from FY2025 onward, with the aim of further leveling tourism demand.
In order to further promote the use Large of the "Round Trip Pass", which is implemented to promote sightseeing tours, we are strengthening cooperation with local governments and other organizations to plan and sell the pass. Expressway In addition, from the viewpoint of dispersing the use of the pass to weekdays, we are running a campaign to give an additional 15% of the sales price in ETC Mileage Service points to those who apply for and use the pass only on weekdays. Please consider taking advantage of this campaign and cooperate with us to reduce traffic congestion at .
