Route

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://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.
