The Tōmei (東名) Expressway runs alone the Pacific Coast of Honshū, Japan's main island, from Tōkyō (東=東京) to Nagoya (名=名古屋).
It connects to the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway [1] (http://www2.mex.go.jp/profile/guide_english/index.html) system at Yoga (place) (用賀), in Setagaya, Tokyo. This seamless junction is over Kampachi (環八), Tokyo's #8 ring road.
The other end is just north of Nagoya: the Komaki Junction, where it flows into the Meishin Expressway to Kyōto, Ōsaka, and Kōbe. It also meets the Chūō Expressway there.
It runs from a junction with the TomeiExpressway in Nagakute, Aichi (outside Nagoya) west to Nishinomiya, Hyogo (between Osaka and Kobe).
The Meishin Expressway was the first expressway in Japan, with a section near Osaka and Kyoto opening July 16, 1963.
The Second Meishin Expressway is an under-construction route between Osaka and Nagoya, lying between the two other high-speed roads, that will connect to the Second TomeiExpressway (via the Isewangan Expressway) and the Sanyo Expressway.
