Formula 1 Race in Suzuka

Suzuka Circuit is a race circuit in Mie Prefecture, 50 kilometers south of Nagoya, and one of the two venues, which staged the Formula One Japanese Grand Prix in recent years. The other is Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka Prefecture.

The next Japan Grand Prix is scheduled to be held at Suzuka on October 10, 2010.

The first formula one race in Japan was staged in 1976 at the Fuji Speedway. From 1987 to 2006, the Japan Grand Prix was held annually at the Suzuka Circuit, before moving back to its original venue at Fuji Speedway in 2007. From 2008, the grand prix was planned to be held alternately at the Fuji Speedway and Suzuka circuits, but Fuji Speedway withdrew as host in 2009.

How to get there
Suzuka is located about 50 kilometers south of Nagoya. Most ways to Suzuka lead via Nagoya:

1) How to get to Nagoya

2) How to get from Nagoya to the Suzuka Circuit

By JR and Ise Tetsudo:

The closest railway station to the race circuit is Suzuka Circuit Ino Station, a 10-15 minute walk from the circuit.

The one way journey from Nagoya Station to Suzuka Circuit Ino Station takes about one hour, costs 1040 yen and requires one transfer of trains at Suzuka Station (if you ride a Toba bound rapid train from Nagoya) or Yokkaichi Station (if you ride a Kameyama or Yokkaichi bound local train from Nagoya).

On race sunday, special direct limited express trains named "Suzuka F1" operate between Nagoya Station and Suzuka Circuit Ino Station, taking 40 minutes and costing about 2500 yen one way. Seat reservations are mandatory on these trains.

Note that the Japan Rail Pass covers only part of the journey, since the section between Kawarada and Suzuka Circuit Ino Station is owned by a non-JR railway company. The supplement fee to be paid by pass holders is 300 yen (610 yen in case of a limited express train).

By Kintetsu Railways:

An alternative approach to the circuit is provided by Kintetsu Railways. The closest station, Shiroko Station, is a 15 minute bus ride from the circuit.

The one way journey from Nagoya Station to Shiroko Station takes 40 minutes and costs 1670 yen by limited express train (tokkyu) or 50 minutes and 800 yen by express train (kyuko). The Japan Rail Pass is not valid on Kintetsu trains.
