Kotooka-Moritake toll booth

Kotooka-Moritake toll booth is a collection point on the Akita Expressway where vehicles pass through multiple lanes for fee payment. The facility operates with electronic toll systems alongside staffed booths to process different vehicle types.

This collection point emerged as part of the Akita Expressway expansion during Japan's post-war infrastructure development. It has since served as a vital connection for traffic moving through the northern regions.

The toll booth staff members maintain Japanese customs of precision and courtesy while efficiently processing thousands of vehicles each day.

Drivers can pay tolls using cash, credit cards, or electronic toll devices, with rates varying by vehicle type. Multiple open lanes allow for smooth passage during most times of the day.

This booth features specialized winter equipment and heating systems designed to maintain operations during the heavy snowfall periods typical of Akita Prefecture. These systems ensure traffic can continue flowing even under severe weather conditions.
