Suzuka Circuit Park

Suzuka Circuit was high on my list for places to visit while in Japan because I love Formula1 and everything Honda. It did not disappoint eventhough there was no race on the day I visited. It would really make a big impression on small kids and their families as the Park is full of attractions for the under 10 year olds. I also wanted to buy lots of Honda merchandise but the shops did not live up to my expectations unfortunately. The Honda Racing Gallery has a nice collection of engines, used F1 cars and a few bikes. Love to go here again when the F1 is in town! It is best to book a hotel at the circuit for easy parking and less walking.

We reserved a spot for the Circuit Challenger as young racers and got to experience the F1 track—it was so much fun for both adults and kids. Watching drivers practice and hearing the engines roar was really exciting! During our visit, we also stopped by the Honda Collection Hall to see the impressive display of racing cars from different years, showcasing the evolution of Honda’s racing technology and heritage. It’s a great place to visit, and it’s best to reserve your time slot for the Circuit Challenger in advance. If you want an F1 experience, go for it!

Really good place for family with small kids until late teenager. You can play simple bump car up until riding a go cart. There are also mini motorbike that adults can ride as well. The time attack concept to get license is awesome. However, do not expect you will get the best time as the machine differs in quality. Some are just not tuned to the max speed so even if you can drive well, it may not be able to speed enough. Other than that, really nice. You can even see the race track. Go on weekdays for a much quieter experience.

I went during the summer holidays and happened to catch the fireworks show—it was absolutely stunning and breathtaking, especially watching it from the racetrack. There was also a chance to drive on the racetrack, which was a rare and enjoyable experience. The other rides and attractions were really fun too. One suggestion would be to improve transportation support, as there were basically no vehicles available after the fireworks ended. We were lucky to leave a bit early and managed to catch a taxi.

A really nice amusement park for kids, the staffs are all super nice specially the entrance gate staff Miss Chen, she gave us some great advice and greeting us with pleasant smile and a warm welcome.Will definitely come back again. Remember to book the “circuit challenger” online in advance because it won’t be available to join it on the site.
