Spring is here, and the best touring season has finally arrived! For riders who keep thinking "I wish the tolls were just a little cheaper...", I found some genuinely useful info I wanted to share! ✨
It's the "motorcycle-only discount programs." Honestly, you're missing out big time if you don't know about these...!
💡 This year's highlights!
1. For riders who want to go the distance: the "Motorcycle Flat-Rate Discount"
Ride 80km or more on a weekend or holiday and you get a whopping 37.5% off (about 40%)! Even better, periods like Golden Week and Obon, which don't qualify for discounts on regular cars, ARE covered for motorcycles. That's the best part 👏
2. For riders who want to explore an area to the fullest: the "Touring Plan"
Within a set area, you get unlimited rides (all-you-can-ride) for a flat fee! Depending on the route, you can save up to nearly 50%. Perfect for a two-day, one-night camping tour.
📝 Getting set up (at least do this much!)
You might think "I'm good as long as I have an ETC card," but you actually need to sign up online in advance.
Register as a member on official sites like "Hayatabi"
Register your ETC card number and your motorcycle's **onboard device management number (19 digits)**
You can apply right from your phone even just before you get on the highway, and there's no cancellation fee, so the smart move is to "just go ahead and sign up" 👍
⚠️ Just one heads-up!
When you pass through the tollgate, the monitor will show the "regular fare," but rest assured the discounted price will be billed to you afterward.
These discount programs are too good to pass up. Let's all use them wisely and put the savings toward a tasty soft-serve ice cream or a relaxing hot spring! 🍦♨️
Where are you all heading for a ride this spring? If you've got a favorite spot, please share it in the comments! ✨
Ride safe tomorrow too, and enjoy the best bike life out there~! 👋
