Limited to vehicles equipped with ETC cards, the cost will be \u00a56,500 for regular (&#8220;white plate&#8221;) cars and \u00a55,200 for minicars (&#8220;yellow plate&#8221;) and motorcycles. The discount is available on all expressways administered by NEXCO West. Tourist numbers have not rebounded since the Kumamoto Earthquakes, especially in hard-hit areas like Aso, so the government hopes this campaign will spur tourism throughout Kyushu.
