Recommended Viewing Items

For watching races in midsummer, be sure to prepare heat countermeasure items and be fully prepared!

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. A wide-brimmed type is recommended!
  • (2) Sunglasses
    Protect your eyes from the glare and UV rays of the sun, and prepare to enjoy watching the race comfortably.
  • (3) Bag
    A backpack that frees up both hands is best, as it can hold heat relief items and souvenirs. 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 the tops. Options like shorts with leg covers are recommended according to your preference.
  • (6) Shoes
    The best choice is comfortable shoes you are used to wearing. Sandals are not allowed. If you plan to use the pool, it is okay to bring sandals separately.

MUST HAVE Items for Enjoying the Race Comfortably

  • (1) Sunscreen
    Apply it 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 usage area
  • (3) Heat Countermeasure Goods
    Be fully prepared to enjoy watching in the height of summer to the fullest. Handy fans, sweat wipes, and cooling towels are recommended!
  • (4) Towel
    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 as 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 Bag
    Convenient for storing wet towels or clothes. It’s useful to have several large, durable ones prepared.
  • (7) Seat Cushion
    For long hours of watching on hot or wet chairs. Choose a foldable and easy-to-carry one.
