SUZUKA CIRCUIT is a one-of-a-kind theme park in Japan that offers over 30 hands-on attractions centred around vehicles—from go-karts, cars, and motorcycles to airplanes, boats, and roller coasters. Designed for all ages, from young children to adults, guests can enjoy operating various types of mobility-based rides themselves. Already a beloved destination for domestic travellers, SUZUKA CIRCUIT is now positioning itself as a premier, one-stop family-friendly attraction for global tourists seeking memorable experiences in Japan.
Since opening in 1962 as Japan’s first professional racing circuit, SUZUKA CIRCUIT has built a reputation as a world-class motorsport venue. Renowned for its challenging 5.8km layout, featuring a unique figure-eight configuration that has earned the admiration of drivers worldwide, the establishment has hosted major events including the FORMULA 1 JAPANESE GRAND PRIX and the Suzuka 8 hours, solidifying its status as a cornerstone of international motorsports. In particular, the circuit has hosted the FORMULA 1 JAPANESE GRAND PRIX a total of 35 times, attracting over 8.9 million spectators to date. The FORMULA 1 JAPANESE GRAND PRIX is announced to be held on the 27th–29th March 2026 at the iconic SUZUKA CIRCUIT. While many may know SUZUKA CIRCUIT as the prestigious venue for the motorsports races, it has since evolved into a distinctive destination combining motorsports with family-friendly entertainment. The site is currently the only destination in the world that merges an international racing course with a full-scale theme park designed for children and families.
The park, themed around motion and mobility, presents a bold fusion of motorsport thrills and interactive, age-inclusive experiences for motor enthusiasts and families alike. It is a fully integrated theme park where children can drive electric vehicles, learn traffic rules through interactive play, and explore a whimsical world inspired by motion and mobility.

Convenient Set Package Plan for International Visitors
SUZUKA CIRCUIT is pleased to offer a convenient package plan tailored for international families, combining park admission, hotel accommodation, and access to exclusive Circuit View Lounge – VIP Suite, featuring a panoramic view of the racing course.

A unique feature of the park is its system of “achievement goals” tied to each attraction. When children accomplish these goals, they receive a card. For just 300 yen (tax included), they can turn this card into a personalized license card with their photo—creating a tangible symbol of their accomplishment, much like an adult driver’s license.
Experience the Thrill of Driving on a Real Racing Circuit: “Circuit Challenger”
The Circuit Challenger lets guests drive electric go-karts (EV karts) on the very same racing course that hosts some of the world’s most prestigious professional races.
This hands-on experience has become a guest favourite, offering a rare opportunity to navigate a world-class track under your own control. What makes this attraction especially unique is that it opens during select time slots between official races and practice sessions. Because of this, availability is limited, and advance reservations are highly recommended as spots sell out quickly.
In March of this year, SUZUKA CIRCUIT opened the ‘Circuit View Lounge – VIP Suite’
A premium relaxation space overlooking the racing circuit. Guests can unwind here while enjoying refreshing beverages.
-
Please note: The ‘Circuit View Lounge – VIP Suite’ is a paid facility (Adults: ¥2,500, Children: ¥1,500, Ages 3–preschool: ¥500).
