Mashiki toll gate

The Mashiki toll gate controls vehicle access on the Kyushu-Chuo Expressway, featuring multiple lanes for different payment methods and vehicle categories.

The toll gate became operational with the extension of the Kyushu-Chuo Expressway network, which started its phased development in 1971.

This toll facility reflects Japan's efficient transportation infrastructure system, where fees support the maintenance of high-quality expressway networks.

Drivers can pay tolls using cash at manned booths or electronic payment cards through automated gates, operating continuously throughout the year.

Following the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes, the toll gate underwent repairs and reopened within a month, demonstrating rapid infrastructure recovery capabilities.
