JNTO Overseas News Release The Nagoya Expressway Pass (NEP) is now available. It offers visitors a way to use the Nagoya Expressway at an inexpensive, unlimited flat rate. A first-time collaboration between the Nagoya Expressway Public Corporation and the Central Nippon Expressway Company Limited in order to expand inbound tourism. The Nagoya Expressway Public Corporation will begin selling the Nagoya Expressway Pass (NEP) starting February 1, 2016, which allows unlimited use of the entire Nagoya Expressway. This pass is available for visitors who are already using the Central Nippon Expressway Pass (CEP) sold by the Central Nippon Expressway Company Limited. By using the CEP/NEP, the expressway can be used to drive from within Nagoya to destinations such as Shirakawa-go, Kanazawa, Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, and Ise-Shima at an inexpensive, unlimited flat rate. In the past, when visitors using the CEP drove on the Nagoya Expressway, it was necessary to pay additional costs for expressway fares after returning to the rental car agency. Now that visitors can apply for the NEP in addition to the CEP, the expressways have become even easier to use. Visitors using the Chubu Centrair International Airport and those staying or sightseeing in Nagoya will find that using a rental car and CEP/NEP together is convenient and a good value. <Advantages of the CEP and NEP> (1) This pass offers unlimited use of expressways within the designated area for a period of 2 to 14 days at a flat rate. CEP and NEP users can enjoy visiting fascinating and enjoyable tourist destinations such as Shirakawa-go, Kanazawa, Mount Fuji and Kyoto. (2) The customers pay a flat fee prior to using the expressways and use the ETC lane, allowing them to pass through the toll plazas without stopping to pay. This makes it a highly convenient product for visiting foreigners not familiar with Japanese expressways. 1. Available period To October 31, 2016 (Monday) (Available for 2 14 consecutive days during this period.) 2.
