If you're in Japan and going to the Fuji International Speedway circuit, I highly recommend you put aside a few hours to go to the new hotel just behind the circuit. (So new it's not in Gran Turismo's version of the circuit.) If you're feeling flush, staying there has additional benefits for the circuit itself, but the main draw card to car nerds like us is the museum within the hotel itself. It's about £7-9 to get in (note, you can't go out and back in again, so take your time.) The exhibits change constantly, but on the day I visited, here's a quick taster of what I saw inside the stunning building.
There was a fair bit more to it, I spent maybe three hours going around. There are some static exhibits, notably the 787B and GT-One, but the vast majority of it changes pretty frequently. There was a 2025 Haas F1 car on the top floor by the gift shop. Gift shop had a lot of lovely wee things in it, as well as a cafe with a balcony which overlooked the final turn of the circuit and down the main straight. My only gripe is whoever did the lighting in the place had obviously never used a camera - bloody nightmare to take pictures in.
In short - if you're in the area, GO!!!
