Get the inside track on Formula One breaks with cultural pit-stops from InsideJapan Tours

Combine the action of the Fuji Speedway, as Lewis Hamilton vies for the Fomula One crown, with an exploration of Japan’s rich culture this autumn. Tailormade packages from InsideJapan Tours not only enable motorsport followers to take in every thrilling second of practice sessions, qualifying and the race itself, from 10 to 12 October, but enjoy a closer look at Japan’s motoring heritage and discover its cultural gems.

Japan is known for its impressive motor racing history, boasting some of the biggest names in the industry in Toyota and Honda, and the country provides one of the most striking settings in the F1 calendar. Fuji Speedway sits in the shadow of the iconic Mt. Fuji and the slick circuit is being rediscovered by drivers and fans alike following its return to the F1 calendar.

The thrill of Formula One and the trackside excitement at Fuji Speedway is complemented by one of the most exciting cities in the world, in a country that is bursting with culture and tradition. The neon lights and buzz of Tokyo provide the main transfer point for race fans, who will be able to sample not only the nightlife of Japan’s traditional bars (izakaya) and karaoke rooms, but also some of the very best food in the world. Tokyo holds the most Michelin stars of any city across the globe, with a total of 191 stars awarded to 150 restaurants – and 60% of these specialise in Japanese food.

InsideJapan Tours offers Formula One packages including four nights’ hotel accommodation with breakfast in Tokyo’s Shinjuku district, meet and greet at the airport, all transfers between Tokyo and Fuji Speedway as well as tickets for practice sessions, qualifying and race day. The Formula One package is available from £1,052 per person (excluding flights).
