About Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix 2027

How to get to Suzuka for the Japanese Grand Prix 2027

Suzuka does not have its own airport. The two main gateways are Chubu Centrair International Airport (NGO), near Nagoya, and Kansai International Airport (KIX), near Osaka. Many international visitors also fly into Tokyo and take the Shinkansen to Nagoya.

From Nagoya, local trains run towards Suzuka, followed by a walk or shuttle bus to the circuit. Trains and stations are very crowded on race days, especially after the race. For groups, a private coach from the hotel can be easier, but roads near the circuit are also busy, so plan transfers carefully and leave early.

Where to stay

Hotels near Suzuka Circuit are limited and often sell out for the Grand Prix. Many fans stay in Nagoya, which has a large choice of hotels and good train links. Other options include Yokkaichi and Tsu in Mie Prefecture, which are closer to the circuit. Some travellers stay in Osaka and travel further each day.

Early April can coincide with spring travel peaks and cherry blossom season in Japan. Book hotels early and confirm group room blocks well before the race.

Planning a group trip to the Japanese Grand Prix

A trip to Suzuka for the Japanese Grand Prix works well as part of a wider Japan holiday, for example adding Kyoto, Osaka or Tokyo after the race.

• Timing: start selling Japanese Grand Prix travel packages early. Grandstand seats and hotels near the circuit sell out fast.
• Official tickets: buy Japanese Grand Prix tickets only through the official ticketing channels linked from Formula 1 or the circuit. Avoid unofficial resellers.
• Package ideas: flights, hotel nights in Nagoya, race tickets, daily rail passes or coach transfers, and extra nights in Kyoto or Tokyo.

• Entry rules: ask travellers to check the official entry requirements for Japan before travel.
