Shooting Area Features
B2-1, B2-2 Shooting Area Possible to shoot cars diving from the main straight into Turn 1.
Especially at the start, you can capture scenes of cars fiercely battling for position as they approach Turn 1.
Because there is some distance between the course and the shooting point, a large telephoto lens is recommended for shooting in this area.
Depending on the focal length of the lens, it may be difficult to capture the cars in a large frame.
The closest access is from GP Square, and there is also the advantage of being able to go directly to the stands from the 1st corner gate.
B2-3 Shooting Area
Hairpin Shooting Area
(Excluding Hairpin Plus Area)		 Since the introduction of the Photographer Area ticket, the Hairpin shooting area has become very popular.
The distance between the course and the shooting point is relatively close, and since the cars slow down at this corner, even those without a telephoto lens can shoot without worry.
C Shooting Area A popular photo spot among amateur photographers even in domestic races.
Especially the E shooting area (the opposite bank), where you can take photos with Ise Bay and Suzuka cityscape in the background if the weather is good.
Also, since the distance to the course is not far, it is possible to shoot to some extent even without a large telephoto lens.
However, since F1 cars pass through corners at high speed, practice is required for panning shots and focusing.
There is a Bank Oasis nearby, which can be used for breaks outside of sessions.
Also, in the afternoon when qualifying and the final take place, the lighting is front-lit, allowing photography without detailed consideration of the sun’s position.
D-5, D-1 Shooting Area
E Shooting Area
M Shooting Area You can photograph cars facing the opposite direction from the S Curve and the Degner Curve, allowing you to enjoy a different atmosphere.
Since there is some distance from the course, using a large telephoto lens is recommended for shooting.
Although it is far from GP Square, you can access it smoothly by using the Spoon Gate.
Accessing from GP Square takes time, so it is advisable to allow plenty of time in your schedule.
Hairpin Plus Area Hairpin Plus Area located in front of seat I-1.
An optional Hairpin Plus ticket is required for admission. (Purchasable only for Photographer Areas 1 to 3)
Tickets are limited to 50 per day on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and this popular area usually sells out almost every year.

Availability of Cloakroom

When seriously photographing race scenes, you end up carrying a lot of camera equipment and other gear. Although you can move around the admission areas during sessions to shoot, the amount of gear often makes this inconvenient. Therefore, a cloakroom is set up at GP Square. If you want to store your luggage there and shoot with only the necessary equipment, you need to purchase both a photographer area ticket and cloakroom access simultaneously.
