Recommended Viewing Items

For watching races in the height of summer, be sure to prepare heat countermeasure items to stay fully ready!

Here, we introduce recommended clothing and items to bring.

FASHION Recommended Clothing

  • (1) Hat
    Since the sunlight becomes quite strong, a hat is a must. Wide-brimmed types are recommended!
  • (2) Sunglasses
    Protect your eyes from the glare and UV rays of the sun to enjoy watching the race comfortably.
  • (3) Bag
    A backpack that frees up both hands and can hold heat relief items and souvenirs is best. Smartphone shoulder bags and waist pouches are also convenient!
  • (4) Tops
    Be mindful of sun protection even when the temperature is high. A combination of short sleeves and arm covers is recommended.
  • (5) Bottoms
    Choose bottoms that can also protect you from the sun, just like your tops. Options like shorts with leg covers are recommended according to your preference.
  • (6) Shoes
    The key is to wear comfortable, well-broken-in shoes. Sandals are not allowed. Bringing sandals separately is okay if you plan to use the pool.

MUST HAVE Items to Enjoy Watching Comfortably

  • (1) Sunscreen
    Apply thoroughly before departure. It is essential to bring some with you for reapplication on site.
  • (2) Parasol
    Effective for blocking direct sunlight. Since there are restrictions on the admission area where it can be used, please check here.
    *Please confirm the permitted usage area
  • (3) Heat Countermeasure Items
    Be fully prepared to enjoy watching in the midsummer heat. Handy fans, sweat wipes, and cooling towels are recommended!
  • (4) Towels
    Not only for wiping sweat, but also useful on rainy days. The larger type with a hood is excellent as it can also be used for sun protection.
  • (5) Raincoat / Poncho
    Takes up less space than an umbrella and leaves both hands free. Even if the forecast is clear, bring one just in case of sudden weather changes.
    * Be sure to keep it in your bag.
  • (6) Plastic Bags
    Convenient for storing wet towels or clothing. It’s useful to have several large, durable ones prepared.
  • (7) Seat Cushion
    For long hours of watching on hot or wet seats. Choose a foldable, easy-to-carry type.

ENJOY MORE Items to Bring for a More Enjoyable Viewing Experience

  • (1) Water Bottle
    Purchase drinks from vending machines inside the circuit, add plenty of ice, and stay hydrated with cold beverages anytime. Make sure to replenish frequently.
    *Essential for preventing heatstroke
  • (2) Change of Clothes
    Prepare for discomfort caused by sweat. You can also use the pool, so bringing a change of clothes is definitely worthwhile!
  • (3) Swimsuit
    You can cool down in the pool at SUZUKA CIRCUIT (WATER PARK AQUA ADVENTURE) while watching the race on a large monitor!
  • (4) Mobile Battery
    From food and event information to sharing on social media, there are many smartphone usage scenes. Having one with you gives peace of mind.
  • (5) Earphones
    If it has noise-canceling functionality, it can also serve as earplugs, making it very useful for watching the race.
