Budget Planner – 2020 Japanese Grand Prix
Plan the cost of your trip to Suzuka for the 2020 Japanese Grand Prix on October 9-11.
Japan is an expensive tourist destination, especially when it comes to accommodation and getting around. The US dollar remained steady against the Yen over the past 12 months, but fell 10% in the two years previous. With limited accommodation near the 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 not the most expensive on the current calendar, and several cheaper options exist.

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
