The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Chiba Prefecture, and NEXCO East Japan will conduct a social experiment of ETC time zone tolls on the Tokyo Bay Aqualine uplink (from Kisarazu to Kawasaki).
In response to frequent traffic congestion caused by the concentration of traffic during certain hours on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, the ETC toll will be discounted or increased by dividing Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays into three time zones. The period is from July 22 to March 31, 20246, on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
Specifically, the weekday fare for a standard car will be 800 yen, while on weekends and holidays it will be 800 yen from 0:00 to 13:00, 1200 yen from 13:00 to 20:00, and 600 yen from 20:00 to 24:00. All types of vehicles, from mini cars to oversized cars, are eligible.
The downbound line (Kawasaki to Kisarazu) will remain as it is, with no time-of-day tolls applied.
