Mashiki toll gate

Mashiki toll gate is a control station on the Kyushu-Chuo Expressway featuring separate lanes for different payment methods and vehicle types. The facility processes vehicles continuously with options for cash or electronic card payments at dedicated booths.

The toll gate became operational with the Kyushu-Chuo Expressway extension, which began its phased development in 1971. Damage from the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes required repairs that were completed within a month.

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 at automated gates operating year-round. The facility offers flexible options for different driver types and payment preferences.

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