Japan is an expensive tourist destination, especially when it comes to accommodation and getting around, though the Japanese Yen has fallen against most major currencies in receny years (especially the US dollar), which increases the value of traveling in Japan for foreign visitors. With limited accommodation available near Suzuka circuit, it’s easier to stay in nearby Nagoya and travel to the circuit by train each day. Luckily, Japanese Grand Prix tickets are some of the cheapest tickets on the current F1 calendar.
Budget
- Weekend cost approx. 73,750 JPY ($495 USD)
- 3-day General Admission ticket = $105 USD
- Dorm bed at hostel in Nagoya (3 nights) = $150 USD
- Spending money including daily trains from Nagoya to Suzuka ($80 x 3) = $240 USD
Mid-Range

- Mid-range grandstand ticket (C3) =$340 USD
- 3-star hotel in Nagoya for 3 nights = $450 USD (per person, twin share)
- Spending money ($150 x 3) = $450 USD
High End
- Weekend cost approx. 785,000 JPY ($5,250 USD)
- F1 Experiences Champions Club Ticket Package = $3,600 USD
- 4-star hotel in Nagoya for 3 nights = $750 USD (per person, twin share)

Hi Andrew, do you know when the general admission tickets will be on sale for the Japan grandprix? Also what general admission tickets are available, 3 day only or 1 day only tickets and how much they roughly cost.
Cheers, Josh
General Admission tickets (G,L,M,N,O) should go on sale on July 8. Last year, these were $78 for 3 days. I don’t think single-day tickets are available. More info in our Tickets Guide.
Awesome thanks! will most likely get the GA tix!
Is there camping at the circuit for the weekend, being Friday Saturday nights, and also possible Sunday night? Went to the Super GTs at Fuji raceway, and could camp for free, hoping same possible for this weekend.
I don’t know of any camping available at Suzuka for F1, sorry
Dear author and readers,
Japan’s consumption tax will rise on this October 1 (8% -> 10%), then fares and prices can be slightly higher than last year.
Thanks for the information
Any recommended website to just buy the tickets (no packages)?
Tickets will be available via the Suzuka Circuit website. We should also have tickets available via our supplier. Sign up to our mailing list and check the box for Japan, we will notify you when tickets go on sale.
Any idea yet as for when tickets will go on sale for 2023?
I’ve been told by my ticket company that sales won’t begin before May, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them go on sale a bit earlier, like in March
Hi
First time to Suzuka F1 with kids
Any ideas on the pricing of the tickets?
Hi Mark, we don’t yet have the pricing for 2023. To be honest, I didn’t save it from last year either as it wasn’t really possible for foreigners to attend. Most recent I have saved is from 2019; most grandstand tickets were priced from $200-400 USD with a few like V2 upper and around the first corner at higher prices.
Hi Andrew – for the Japanese Grand Prix in 2024 will they be selling one day tickets or will they just sell 3 day tickets? Thanks
I think it’s only 3 day tickets
