Misato toll gate, Tollbooth on Joban Expressway in Misato, Japan.
Misato toll gate is an access point on the Joban Expressway that manages traffic flowing between Tokyo and northern Japan. The facility operates continuously and handles different vehicle types using electronic collection systems.
The gate opened in 2009 and significantly improved transportation infrastructure in Saitama Prefecture. This opening was part of a broader modernization of the regional expressway network.
The facility reflects Japan's systematic approach to highway management through advanced electronic toll collection systems and precise operational procedures.
Vehicles with electronic toll devices can pass through at any time, with rates varying by vehicle type. It helps to check current fee structures beforehand, as these can change.
