Q. Is the admission charge included in the ticket?

All the ticket prices include the admission charge and consumption tax.

Q. What is the difference between the C1 and C2 seats?

The installation area is the same, but the C1 seats are single box seats compared with C2 seats which are bench seats.

Q. How long will people have to wait for the free bus?

Other than for a number of local routes, this year we will use a system where the buses wait at the site ("stand-by system"). Basically, we plan for passengers to wait inside the buses until it is time for them to leave.

Q. Does the "stand-by system" mean that the bus one got on to come to the venue will be the bus one gets on to leave the venue?

The buses to leave the venue will leave as it is filled with a certain number of people, thus meaning the bus used by one to come to the venue might not be the bus used to leave the venue.

Q. Does selecting the train group or parking type mean one is able to utilize any of the places listed for the selected group or type?

No it does not. Please keep in mind that the places (train stations and parking lots) one will be using will be chosen by lottery.
On the other hand, by selecting group or parking type, one will be able to send in a multiple application, hence making the odds better.

Q. Is it possible to take a free bus to another destination during the three-day event?

We are using the same "Ticket and Ride" system for the free buses that we used last year. Please use them for the destination that is printed on the ticket.

Q. Are there toilets in the parking areas available at night? And are there any restrictions on movements in and out of the parking areas?

We plan to set up temporary toilets in designated parking areas. There are no restrictions on movement in and out of parking areas available at night.

Q. What facilities are provided at the auto-camp sites?

We ask our visitors to use the existing auto-camp sites. Detailed information about the facilities will be provided separately for those who intend to use them.

Q. Is there a limit on the number of tickets a person can buy?

We ask for one to limit the number to 8 per person.

Q. What about if someone wants to sit with friends who have come by a different means of transport or access method?

We are very sorry but ticket sales are decided by lottery so it is impossible to buy tickets for seats adjacent to those bought for a different means of transport or access method.

Q. Is there a way to apply at the same time for tickets that use a variety of different means of transport?

We are very sorry, but an application is for one kind of ticket and one means of transport.

Q. What kind of bus is used for the free bus service?

The buses are a mixture of passenger buses and tourist coaches. The seating arrangements and space will vary according to the bus that you use.

Q. About how long will it take for the free buses from each embarkation point to arrive at Fuji Speedway?

Q. Will there be traffic restrictions in the surrounding areas?

Last year there were traffic restrictions in the area around Fuji Speedway. This year we will discuss this with the parties concerned and provide details separately.

Q. Can people go to Fuji Speedway by car if they stay with relatives who live nearby?

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we would ask them to go to the embarkation point for the free bus and to come to the venue that way.

Q. Is it possible to get a taxi to the venue?

In principle it is possible to come by taxi. We will provide separate information about taxi stands and other details.

For safety reasons we ask our visitors not to come by bicycle or on foot. We ask for our visitors' understanding and cooperation on this.

Q. Will there be extra trains laid on like last year?

Q. If a person is able to buy a "Train (designated station) + bus" style ticket for the race, how does he or she purchase the train ticket?

Just as for an ordinary race, we would ask the visitor to make his or her own arrangements for that.

Q. Is it possible to cancel a ticket that has been bought?

Tickets cannot be cancelled or altered after they have been bought. We ask our visitors to apply for and purchase tickets with that understanding.
