- Tomei and Chuo Road Course
- Tohoku Expressway / Joban Expressway Course

And here comes the leak of a new discount plan.
The Shizuoka Shimbun has this article....
Limited time offer for fixed-price unlimited expressway rides for motorcycles at all interchanges in Shizuoka Prefecture
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) and the three expressway companies of East Japan, Central Japan and West Japan decided on March 30 to introduce a toll plan for motorcycles equipped with an automatic toll collection system (ETC). The plan will be implemented for a limited time to coincide with the 2018 touring season. The plan will be implemented for a limited period of time to coincide with the 2018 touring season, and all interchanges (IC) on the Tomei and Shin-Tomei expressways in the prefecture are being considered for the plan in the Tokyo metropolitan area or the Chukyo area.
Under the plan, there will be three courses of unlimited rides in each of the four areas. The fare is expected to range from 2,500 to 6,000 yen depending on the course, and passengers can get on and off freely within the course. According to the implementation plan, the prefecture is included in the Tokyo metropolitan area to the east of Shizuoka City and the Chukyo area to the west.
Each expressway company is making adjustments so that the plan can be launched as soon as possible. The plan is expected to be in effect until this fall. The plan aims to stimulate demand for touring and revitalize the region.
Quote from Shizuoka Shimbun
That's good news! The article is from the Shizuoka Shimbun, so it only touches on things in the prefecture, but the image in the same article shows the line extending to the Kanetsu and Tohoku areas.The price is set at about 2,500-6,000 yen, but I would welcome a price increase from the last time if it could be used for driving across two plans.
Furthermore, according to the article, this time the area will be expanded to include Kansai and Kyushu.
I hope it doesn't start before GW: ..... It's going to be tough.......
