Akita airport toll booth

Akita Airport toll booth is a payment collection facility on the Nihonkai-Tohoku Expressway that manages traffic flow between the airport and surrounding areas. It features multiple lanes for different payment methods and serves as a main link connecting this region with cities across northern Japan.

The toll booth was opened in 2007 by the East Nippon Expressway Company as a connection point between the developing airport infrastructure and existing highway networks. This facility was built to manage growing traffic demands in the region.

The toll booth system reflects Japanese transportation infrastructure principles, incorporating both traditional payment methods and electronic collection technologies.

Drivers can pay using cash, credit card, or the Electronic Toll Collection system, with the electronic option allowing passage without stopping. Planning ahead with the E-system saves time during travel.

The toll booth sits directly at the airport and is often travelers' first or last contact with the highway network. This central position makes it a notable landmark in local traffic geography.
