Japanese Grand Prix

The Japanese Grand Prix takes place at Suzuka Circuit, one of Formula 1’s most iconic and technically demanding circuits. Suzuka is unique for its figure-eight layout, the only one of its kind on the F1 calendar. The 5.807km track combines high-speed corners, sweeping ‘S’ curves, and tight chicanes that test both driver skill and car balance.

Suzuka, where the Grand Prix is held, is a small town with limited accommodation, much of which is reserved for Formula 1teams, officials, and media. For most fans, the best place to stay for the Japanese Grand Prix is Nagoya, the nearest major city located around 50 km north of Suzuka. Nagoya is a vibrant, modern city with shopping districts, an exceptional dining scene, and a key transport hub, making it perfect for exploration.

Return shared transfers are included in most of our Japanese Grand Prix packages. We coordinate departure times so you arrive comfortably to catch all the action, without having to worry about navigating the crowded trains and shuttle buses. Over race weekend, the journey can take up to 2 hours due to increased traffic.

Our Japanese Grand Prix packages are designed to make your race weekend and time in Japan effortless. Depending on the option you select, inclusions typically combine official reserved grandstand or hospitality access, quality accommodation in Nagoya, return race day transfers, and an invitation-only welcome function. You will also have our on-ground team available for assistance throughout the event.

The 2026 Japanese Grand Prix takes place from Thursday 26 March to Sunday 29 March, aligning perfectly with the start of Sakura (cherry blossom) season. During this time, Japan transforms into a sea of delicate pink blooms, and Suzuka is no exception. In previous years, the circuit has been beautifully framed by cherry blossoms, creating a breathtaking backdrop to the high-octane action on track.

You can also experience the full charm of Sakura season throughout the region, whether strolling through Nagoya’s gardens or visiting local parks. It’s a truly special time to visit Japan, combining the excitement of Formula 1 with one of the country’s most picturesque natural spectacles.
