Shuto Expressway will revise its tolls from October 1.
The toll per kilometer for standard-size vehicles will increase by approximately 3 yen, from the current 29.52 yen to 32.472 yen, representing a 10% increase. The minimum toll (300 yen for standard-size vehicles) will remain unchanged, and the current maximum-distance setting of 55.0 kilometers will also be maintained. The maximum toll for standard-size vehicles will be 2,130 yen. The average revision rate across all vehicle classes will be 8.1%.
Regarding the reason for the toll revision, the company explained that rising labor and material costs have made addressing higher maintenance and management costs a challenge. The revision is intended to secure funding to continuously provide safe and reliable road services and to ensure appropriate labor costs are secured and properly distributed to essential workers involved in maintenance and management operations.
The expanded discount rate for the large-volume and frequent-user discount program (up to 45%), the central Tokyo entry discount, and the central Tokyo entry and Bayshore Route guidance discount will continue until March 31, 2031.
Along with the toll revision, temporary special measures will be implemented in connection with efforts to create an environment for passing on costs in the road transport business sector (medium-size vehicles and above). Tolls for medium-size, large, and extra-large vehicles will remain at current rates until June 30, 2027. In addition, from July 1, 2030, through March 31, 2031, the expanded discount rate for the large-volume and frequent-user discount program will be reduced to a maximum of 25%.
