Climb into a race car and roll on a pro track near Mt. Fuji
Originally planned as a NASCAR oval inspired by Daytona Speedway, Fuji Speedway morphed into a more conventional but still quite challenging road course.
The track boasts the added attraction of having Mt. Fuji as its scenic backdrop, and you can drive a test car if no events are scheduled.
How to Get There
Fuji Speedway is about 25 minutes from Gotemba Station by bus.
Gotemba Station is on the JR Gotemba Line, which runs from Kozu in Kanagawa Prefecture to Numazu in Shizuoka Prefecture . A taxi from the station to the speedway will take 20 minutes.
