FUJI SPEEDWAY HOTEL
Nestled in the foothills of Mount Fuji in Japan’s Shizuoka Prefecture, Fuji Speedway Hotel is a magnet for motorsport enthusiasts and travelers seeking to explore the surrounding region. Its strategic location directly adjacent to the renowned Fuji International Speedway sets the stage for a singular experience. Whether one is attending a motorsport event or simply seeking a getaway with breathtaking views of the country’s tallest and most revered mountain, this 120room property offers the ideal vantage point for both.
The hotel’s design perfectly complements its surroundings, seamlessly blending modern architecture with a touch of
Japanese aesthetic. The lobby welcomes guests with a grand, open space that offers panoramic views of the racetrack and the majestic cone of Mount Fuji. This remarkable first impression sets the tone for an unforgettable stay.
Accommodations are comfortable and stylish, featuring a variety of tastefully decorated room options to suit different needs, including 21 spacious suites and five steel-clad villas.

These rooms are spacious, elegantly appointed, and equipped with soundproofing, ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep even when the races are in session.
In terms of dining, the Fuji Speedway Hotel caters to a wide range of tastes and preferences. Robata OYAMA offers a delectable selection of Japanese grilled dishes prepared with a keen eye for quality and presentation, while trattoria-style TROFEO dishes up Italian classics like chicken cacciatore and lobster linguine. For cocktails and whiskeys, the place to be is speakeasy-style BAR 4563; named for the length (in meters) of the Fuji Speedway circuit, the moody space features a striking communal table shaped like a Formula One car.
Apart from the motorsport events happening on the track, the hotel offers an array of recreational facilities for guests. The fitness center is well equipped, and there’s an outdoor pool with a stunning view of Mount Fuji. For those seeking relaxation, the hotel’s spa and hot spring bath facilities are the perfect places to unwind at the end of the day.
Other attractions abound in the surrounding countryside. Guests can hike Mount Fuji, explore the local environs on an e-bike, visit an ancient Shinto shine, and even tour a local whiskey distillery. The lakeside resort town of Hakone is less than an hour’s drive away.
