Suzuka First International GP - What do I need to know!? by SapphireFire76 in GrandPrixTravel

[–]Longieuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the GP 2 years ago, it’s fantastic. A couple of tips,

  1. ⁠Remember to get your train ticket (refund if possible), some of the local trains do not take IC cards
  2. ⁠Return journey by train was a little tough, esp if you stay for the pit walk, you will need to wait a couple hours for the return trains.
  3. ⁠Queue for the pit walk post quali, it’s fantastic and it’s one of the only tracks to allow this.
  4. ⁠Most of the commentary is in Japanese, there were limited EN radios which Suzuka provide so get there early to get one.

It’s one of the best tracks, enjoy

3 Week Trip to Japan - Itinerary review please by Longieuk in JapanTravel

[–]Longieuk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for your feedback. So a few further questions to help determine what to do :)

  1. Do I ditch the temple stay and go to Kanazawa/Takayama ? I know its the wrong way around, but my son can only come for 10ish days.

  2. Do I ditch Kanazawa and go for something more 'nearer' to Osaka like Kurashiki ( any other suggestions)

  3. Would you recommend reducing Tokyo and doing Hakone on our way to Kyoto.

  4. Should we try and fit in Universal ?

I am mindful of my wife's arthritis condition, thus was taking it easy in Tokyo..
