Great drive! What do you think of Inner Circular Route (C1) around Tokyo, Japan, a 14.8 kilometer (9.2 miles) ring road? Here's the video of full drive: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKuznIl9opKLitk What do you think of the expressway after watching the video?

Thanks! Cool video, pretty awesome it was done from a classic mini cooper :) Interesting that for the majority it's two lanes only, for such a massive metropole. Probably largely due to the efficient public transport network :)

@@nielsontheroad Actually reason why because Japan has the most expensive tolls than most European countries. For instance, driving entire length on Tōmei Expressway (E1) at 346.8 kilometers from Tokyo IC (1) to Komaki IC (24) will cost you: Without ETC: 8,780 JPY (67.80 EUR) With ETC: 8,360 JPY (64.55 EUR)

@@RoadsOfAsiaBen Actually in my experience tolls cost fairly similar in France for such a distance, maybe slightly less and also dependent on the operator of the toll road.

@@nielsontheroad India has a cheapest tolls for longer length. For example: Agra-Lucknow Expressway at 302 kilometers: 595 INR (7.11 EUR) Yamuna Expressway at 165.5 kilometers: 665 INR (7.95 EUR) Also, about the operators of toll road, here's the list in Japan, this is a long: -3 main state-owned operators: West Nippon Expressway Company (NEXCO West), Central Nippon Expressway Company (NEXCO Central), and East Nippon Expressway Company (NEXCO East) and all of them are owned by the government of Japan. It used to be Japan Highway Public Corporation but this was split as a result of privatization in 2005. -Honshu-Shikoku Bridge Expressway Company which operates 3 expressway and bridges between islands of Honshu and Shikoku. -Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) -Urban Expressways: Shuto Expressway or Metropolitan Expressway Company Limited in Tokyo, Fukuoka-Kitakyushu Expressway Public Corporation in Fukuoka and Kitakyūshū areas, Nagoya Expressway Public Corporation in Nagoya, Hiroshima Expressway Public Corporation in Hiroshima, Hanshin Expressway Company, Limited in areas of Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto, and Tokyo Skyway Company which operates Tokyo Expressway. -And prefecture maintained expressways: Aomori Prefecture Road Public Corporation in Aomori Prefecture, Fukushima Prefecture Road Corporation in Fukushima Prefecture, Tochigi Prefecture Road Public Corporation in Tochigi Prefecture, Aichi Prefectural Road Public Corporation in Aichi Prefecture, Hyōgo Prefecture Road Corporation in Hyōgo Prefecture, and Ōita Prefecture Road Corporation in Ōita Prefecture.
