NEXCO West Japan Shikoku Branch launched the “Shikoku Round Trip Drive Pass,” a discount plan for round trip travel limited to ETC vehicles, on April 1. The plan allows unlimited rides on expressways in four prefectures in Shikoku (Tokushima, Kagawa, Ehime, and Kochi).
Previously available only for a limited period of time to coincide with the tourist season, this product has been changed to one that is sold throughout the year. Fees are 6300 yen for a standard car and 5000 yen for a mini car, etc. for two consecutive days, and 7200 yen for a standard car and 5800 yen for a mini car, etc. for three consecutive days.
It is necessary to apply through the company’s website “Michi Tabi” before the start of expressway use.
Note that the Drive Pass has a cap on the number of times it can be used per plan, and the same ETC card can be used up to four times per year (from January 1 to December 31; four times between April 1 and December 31 in 2023).
