The Meishin Expressway Sekigahara Tunnel East live camera is a road condition monitoring live camera installed near KP394.8 of the Meishin Expressway in Imasu, Sekigahara-cho, Fuwa District, Gifu Prefecture. You can check traffic volume, congestion, snowfall, road icing, visibility in rainy weather, and winter road conditions on the east side of the Sekigahara Tunnel.
The area around Sekigahara is close to the border between Gifu and Shiga prefectures, and is an important transportation hub where the Meishin Expressway, National Route 21, and National Route 365 pass through.

What You Can See on the Meishin Expressway Sekigahara Tunnel East Live Camera
This live camera lets you check road conditions near KP394.8 on the east side of the Sekigahara Tunnel on the Meishin Expressway. It can mainly be used to understand the flow of traffic, the presence or absence of congestion and traffic jams, the wetness of the road surface, snowfall, and poor visibility conditions.
Especially in winter, snowfall and road icing can occur in the Sekigahara area, making this useful for checking conditions before moving toward Nagoya, Maibara, or Hikone. While the live camera provides clues about the situation on the ground, always be sure to also check the latest traffic restriction information and actual road conditions when driving.
Useful for Checking Congestion and Road Closures Toward Sekigahara IC and Maibara
The area near the east side of the Sekigahara Tunnel is an important section where vehicles heading toward Sekigahara IC on the Meishin Expressway and toward Maibara in Shiga Prefecture pass through. When accidents, broken-down vehicles, construction work, or bad weather occur, traffic volume can increase and speeds can drop.
Checking the flow of traffic and road surface conditions via the live camera makes it easier to catch signs of congestion before departing. For long-distance travel, commuting, deliveries, and sightseeing drives, it is recommended to check traffic information and road closure information on the Meishin Expressway together.
Snow and Road Icing in Sekigahara Area: What to Watch Out for in Winter
The Sekigahara area is located in a mountainous part of western Gifu Prefecture, and is an area where care is needed regarding snowfall and road icing in winter. Even when traveling from a sunny region, weather and road surface conditions can change once you enter the Sekigahara area.
The live camera allows you to check remaining snow on the road, the whiteness of the road surface, vehicle flow, and worsening visibility. During snowfall and cold snaps, in addition to preparing studless snow tires and winter equipment, please also check in advance for chain regulations and road closures.
Also Check Related Live Cameras on National Route 21 and National Route 365
In the Sekigahara area along the Meishin Expressway, National Route 21 and National Route 365 also serve as important detour and connecting routes. If an accident, road closure, or congestion occurs on the Meishin Expressway, traffic volume on surrounding general roads can also increase.
Checking live cameras in Imasu, Sekigahara-cho, Sankyo Pass, Sekigahara Overpass, and the Tama area of Sekigahara-cho together makes it easier to grasp road conditions over a wide area. Especially in winter and during heavy rain, be careful of snowfall, icing, and poor visibility not only on the Meishin Expressway but also on surrounding roads.
Notes on Using the Live Camera
Live camera images may be delayed or not displayed due to equipment or communication conditions. Also, the range that can be checked in the image is limited to the area around the camera installation point, so it may differ from actual road conditions and traffic restrictions.
For safe travel, do not judge based solely on live camera footage — also check NEXCO Central Japan traffic information, JARTIC, weather forecasts, and rain radar together. During bad weather and long-distance travel in winter, it is important to act with plenty of time to spare.
