Set amid Mount Fuji, offering the ultimate motorsports experience at the iconic Fuji Speedway race circuit, the opening of Fuji Speedway Hotel in Shizuoka marks Hyatt Hotels Corporation's first property within The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand in Japan.
Where motorsports meet luxury hospitality, the one-of-a-kind hotel is one of several attractions in the new Fuji Motorsports Forest project developed by the Toyota Group and the first of a planned compilation of distinctive, story-worthy hotels in the country.
"Fuji Speedway Hotel epitomises the brand's hallmark for worldly, unforgettable memories, and I believe it is the brand that best encapsulates the appeal of the Fuji Motorsports Forest. We hope this hotel will become a place loved by people all over Japan and worldwide," said Tomohide Yamamura, President of Toyota Fudosan.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Mount Fuji, about 80 minutes by car from Tokyo, the hotel is adjoined to the historic Fuji Speedway motor racing circuit, which hosts world-class racing events, delivering guests a unique opportunity to experience the excitement of motorsports. The hotel is also home to the Fuji Motor Sports Museum, which exhibits approximately 40 era-defining racing cars dating from the end of the 19th century.
