Yashio toll booth

Yashio toll booth is a traffic control facility on the Misato Route that links central Tokyo with the Joban Expressway. It manages vehicle flow across multiple lanes using automated payment technology designed for different vehicle categories.

The toll booth opened in 1985 as the Misato Route was completed, becoming an important gateway linking separate expressway sections. Its construction reflected growing demand for better traffic management across the Tokyo metropolitan area.

This toll facility reflects Japan's systematic approach to transportation infrastructure, integrating automated payment systems and organized traffic management protocols.

Drivers should approach the correct toll lane for their vehicle type, as payment systems accept multiple payment methods and process transactions quickly. Nearby parking areas allow travelers to stop briefly and check route information before continuing.

The facility sits parallel to the Ayase River and provides access to Saitama Prefectural Route 116, which extends toward Koshigaya and Matsudo. This location makes it a key junction for travelers moving between Tokyo and the northern prefecture.
