This was the day when my two wishes got fulfilled...one is watching F1 Live and the other is traveling in Shinkansen (Bullet Train)! I was planning for this day since April and finally I got to see the Formula1 race live here in Japan!! I traveled in Kodama Shinkansen (Slowest Bullet train in Japan - 220km/hr). Sitting inside you won't even feel the speed. It was really fun watching Formula1 live! I was so excited through out the race that I just didn't recognize when race started and when it ended.
Place - Fuji Speedway, shizuoka prefecture, Japan.
How to Go -
This depends on the place you are traveling from. For all the people going to Fuji Speedway there were shuttles arranged. Depending on the ticket purchased the station for shuttle was given. I had to go to Shinfuji. So I took Kodama - Shinkansen from Shinyokohama to reach Shinfuji. (In Japan stations which start from "Shin" have shinkansen stations). Please check on www.hyperdia.com for train route from your place.
Tips -
1. If you are going to book Unreserved seat then I would suggest you to go early and find a place at suitable height from where the fence won't come in between while taking photos. I reached bit late and couldn't find proper place.
2. Unreserved seat in Fuji speedway is nothing but hilly area with grass. Also it was raining on that day so it was bit muddy. So carry enough accessories to deal with such situation :-).
