Its an interesting topic to be sure!  In a country that is so highly populated where the roads are busy at the best of

times. Why wouldn’t you use the highways for a few hundred yen?  Time is a precious commodity something that we

never seem to have enough of. Yet it never ceases to amaze us that many people will not use the highways! They

would rather take the normal roads, get stuck in heavy traffic, stop at every red light (because traffic lights don’t

work in unison, they are not synchronized ) stressing themselves out than pay a measly 300-600 yen in toll fees to

take the highway and reach their destination in half the time.

We are not saying the highways don’t get busy by any means and at times there are traffic jams because of

accidents and also during long vacations, but if you think strategically, pick your days and times you will save

yourself a lot of time and a lot less stress believe us! It’s up to you personally, we would rather spend 600 yen than

take the normal roads to go to a friends house for a visit. Its simple would you rather spend an hour and a half

stopping and starting in traffic on your way to the beach with your wife and kids and or friends, or would you rather

spend that 600 yen jump on the highway and be there in 20 minutes …its a no brainer right!

How much is your time worth….
