tripitaka 0 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Does anyone have a link to information on the 1000 yen ETC tolls (Japanese OK). Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 It's not really difficult. 1000 yen for any distance on the expressways from 0:00am Sat until 24:00am Sunday (going over the entrance time). Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 this is the ETC site http://www.go-etc.jp/ Link to post Share on other sites
tripitaka 0 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Thanks Rach, So it doesn't have to be a return trip? If I got on the expressway at Sat 1:00 a.m. and exited at Sat 6:00 a.m., I get charged 1000 yen. If I return in 7 days time, I pay 1000 yen for the return trip. Link to post Share on other sites
orinoco 0 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 No, it doesn't have to be a return trip. What you said above is correct. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Thought some of the Tokyo roads weren't included? Link to post Share on other sites
orinoco 0 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Correct, I think it's the shotoku or whatever it's called. Other than that and special toll roads all the main expressways take part. triptaka I see is in Osaka. Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine the kanjou-sen (a city loop) in Osaka is out and it's only for the main trunk lines. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 If you drive past either Tokyo or Osaka you will pay an extra 1000Y. I drove from Shizuoka to Kochi this summer and it cost 3000Y total. (1000Y expressway, 1000Y past Osaka, 1000Y Seto Ohashi) Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 yes it normally costs more than 1000. kansai-nagano is 2500yen. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 is the 1000 yen thing everyday or only weekends and holidays? Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Only weekends and holidays. If for example you get on the highway at 10pm and drive until 12:01am Saturday morning you still get the discount. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yep - it depends on your start/finish time if you start on reg. day but finish on holiday or weekend than max 1000 and vice versa on days. Link to post Share on other sites
