"MotoGP™ FOREST RIDER’S CAMP" is the perfect space for your camping touring debut
For riders who "admire the sight of riding with a tent and sleeping bag packed, but find it daunting to gather gear or cook meals," we highly recommend staying at the "MotoGP™ FOREST RIDER’S CAMP," a rider-exclusive area set up in the forest within the venue.
Why is this the perfect place for a camping touring debut? Because it is camping within a resort with fully equipped facilities, there is no need to worry about "cooking meals" or "bathing," which are common concerns for beginners. Since you can eat and drink at food stalls at the venue, there is no need to insist on cooking for yourself. You don't need to bring heavy cooking equipment; just pack a minimal tent, a sleeping bag, and your favorite chair on your bike, and you can enjoy camping in a light style.
The environment, which is the ultimate romance for campers—being able to park your bike right next to your tent—is perfectly set up. Being able to relax and camp in a calm forest away from the hustle and bustle of the city, while fully enjoying the clear air and rich nature, is a luxury unique to Motegi. Waking up in the morning, sitting deep in your favorite chair under the dappled sunlight, and gazing at your bike parked nearby with a cup of freshly brewed coffee in hand. Just imagining it is wonderful. During the day, you can spend your time leisurely with the exhaust notes of the GP machines echoing from the circuit as the ultimate background music, and only head to the course for the sessions you want to watch. After all, it is only a 10-minute walk to the spectator area!
There are few other places where you can enjoy the world's top-level racing and camping at the same time. The reasonable price is also attractive. You can enjoy up to 4 days and 3 nights from Friday, October 2, 2026, to Monday, October 5, 2026, for 15,000 yen (5,000 yen per night).

At night, the brilliantly lit forest creates an extraordinary space. It is a guaranteed "Instagrammable" spot to color your camping tour. *Photos are images from past events.
If you have secretly dreamed of "wanting to try camping touring someday," we hope you will make your debut a lifelong memory in this luxurious and safe prime seat.
Of course, experienced camping tourers will surely enjoy this environment as well. We hope you will fully enjoy the best camping × MotoGP™ experience.

Have the best night, whether solo or with friends. "Over Night Square," a feast of exquisite gourmet food and bike talk
A nighttime event that is attracting attention at the MotoGP™ Grand Prix of Japan is "Over Night Square."
Last year, talk shows by gorgeous guests and live music performances were held, and it was a huge success throughout the night. What is worth noting is that food stalls featuring exquisite local gourmet food unique to Tochigi will be lined up. In other words, there is no need to struggle with making unfamiliar camping meals; you can enjoy the best outdoor dinner with delicious festival food and cold beer. Please note that the detailed program for 2026 will be announced in the future.
Surrounded by the light of lanterns in the same space as bike fans gathered from all over the country, talking about today's race development and each other's bikes. A special night spent with fellow bike lovers will surely liven up the "camping tour" itself.
A strong ally for campers. "Nozomi no Yu" and surrounding bathing facilities to heal the fatigue of your journey
Nozomi no Yu Day-trip Bathing [Advance Web Reservation Required]
When choosing a campsite, "whether there is a bath nearby" is an important item, and there is no oversight in that regard.
At the hotel on the premises of Mobility Resort Motegi, there is "Nozomi no Yu," which features an open-air bath where you can bathe while looking up at the starry sky. In the indoor bath, you can enjoy a silky bath characterized by its soft touch on the skin and a jet bath that loosens tired bodies, so it will heal the fatigue of long-distance touring and the pleasant fatigue of spending the day outside from the core. The convenience of being able to move from the camping area and relax directly at "Nozomi no Yu" is the ultimate peace of mind for camping touring beginners. Please note that "Nozomi no Yu" during the Grand Prix of Japan period requires advance reservation, so be sure to make your bathing reservation along with your race viewing and camping ticket arrangements.

・Bathing time: 30 minutes per slot
・Usage fee: Adults 1,600 yen, Children (3 years old to junior high school students) 1,100 yen

Access routes where you can enjoy pleasant roads by bike
Mobility Resort Motegi, which allows for various approaches, can be accessed from various interchanges such as the Tohoku Expressway, Joban Expressway, and Kita-Kanto Expressway. You can reach the venue in about an hour from any interchange. There are three gates in the venue: North, South, and East, and it is helpful to be able to choose the best entrance according to your departure point and the area where you will park.

Also, on the official access site, we propose "recommended touring/drive courses" from each interchange to the recommended gates for visitors heading to the site from the Tokyo/Chiba area. Please use it as a reference and enjoy the journey to the venue.
Furthermore, as a big topic this year, a "Park and Ride" system has been newly established to avoid traffic jams around the circuit. It is a groundbreaking system where you can leave your car at an external parking lot of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Advance ticket 2,000 yen / Same-day ticket 2,500 yen *Four-wheeled vehicles only) located about 30 minutes away from "Moka IC," and take a free shuttle bus directly to the venue. If you are carpooling with friends, there is no reason not to use this method to bypass the congestion unique to race week.
In addition to how to arrive by bike or car, there are various means of access using public transportation, such as the Haga-Utsunomiya LRT (Lightline) departing from and arriving at JR Utsunomiya Station, and the reservation-only direct shuttle "Motegi GP Express Haga" that can be accessed from Tokyo and major cities. Moving comfortably while enjoying it according to your own style will also be one of the real thrills of the "MotoGP™ Grand Prix of Japan."
