Hi, Ernest
Sorry for my late reply.

If you consider to travel not only to the circuit but around Ise Shrine, Kumano-kodo, and Osaka as well, or if you use Kansai Airport, this tourist pass is a good option.
But, if you move between only Nagoya and the circuit, this pass covers too much.
For the latest few years Ise Railway recommended passengers who did not carry JPY cash to install a dedicated app which enables to buy 1-day electronic ticket for the Ise Railway coverage using ApplePay or GooglePay. This year same usage of the app is supposed (official announcement will be made this month).

hi andrew,
was wondering if you would reccomend the Ise-Kumano-Wakayama Area Tourist Pass for 5 days? its seems to also cover the ise railway (which includes suzuka circuit ino station) and up to 6 free limited express train reserve ticket for 16500 yen. do you think is worth it? thanks!

Hi Team,
This website is fantastic and has great info for the Suzuka F1 race. It does seem a little bit of a hassle to get there. Has anyone been and would you recommend? Thanks, planning for APRIL 2025.

Hi, Prue
I hope you still read here.

In previous GPs there used to be separate queues for. at Shiroko Stn.: queue of passengers who have already got reservation and queue of passengers who haven’t. If you arrive at the station in time, you won’t miss the train you have booked.
But you have to remember that last year they had to wait long for shuttle buses for Shiroko. This year the waiting time at the most crowded hours is expected to be 2 hours.

If you want to take a taxi, I don’t recommend going to Ino Stn. because there is no regular taxi stop around the station and you have to climb down the stairs from the platform (there are no elevators nor escalators at Ino).
For people having trouble for walking, I recommend going from Osaka to Shiroko by Kintetsu line and taking a taxi from Shiroko (if you don’t mind waiting long for taxis).

Hey, I will be traveling from Osaka. This is my (and my family’s) first time in Japan. We are very excited to catch the Suzuka F1 GP as well, but I want to know how to access it efficiently without much hassle (we have a senior citizen with us who has problems walking long distances and a little girl coming with us). I am planning on taking them from Osaka to Tsu and catching the local train to Suzuka Circuit Ino. But with the current schedule indicating the events starting earlier (around 9ish with the Ferrari Practice and such) I am considering taking the taxis to be a better option. Please advice on our traveling options as crowds can be hectic and we don’t want to miss any opportunities and pre-race events (as we have paid a lot for them). I want to make the most of this experience. Would appreciate your insight on this matter!!

Hi everyone,
It is my first time to the Suzuka F1 event.
I had bought the F1 experience package which includes the Pit lane walk experience on Thurs.
On 04 Apr (Thurs), can I check what are the public transportation options from Nagoya to the circuit on Thurs? Thanks!
