NEXCO Central Japan, Central Japan Exis and Carstay will open “RV Station Suzuka PA,” a spot for overnight stays in a car, at the Suzuka PA on the Shin-Meishin Expressway (E1A) for a limited period. The period is from October 7 to November 27, and reservations will be accepted on Carstay’s website from September 28.
The fee is 2,200 yen per unit, and the hours of use are from 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm the following day. AC power (100V/1500W) is available in the spaces. The number of parking spaces is 5, and available vehicles are 8 x 3.5 m (length x width) or smaller.
This is the first attempt in Japan to provide overnight stay spots that can be used directly from expressway PAs. When using the Shin-Meishin expressway from the off-ramp, it is necessary to exit at the Suzuka PA Smart Interchange and re-enter the up-ramp from the same smart interchange.
