For the very first time Big Rock will be offering a complete package to the Japanese MotoGP. Using the extensive knowledge of the Grandstand team we have put together a package that will see you looked after from the moment you arrive in Japan.
Japan is a difficult place to see on your own with English not being widely spoken and the signage anywhere other than in central Tokyo only being in Japanese script. Your Big Rock package will take care of everything from arrival at the airport to eating out. A good night out in Tokyo is always fun and sure to be a highlight of the trip.
Motegi was built by Honda and they will be as keen as ever to see a Honda top the podium. Meanwhile Loris Capirossi and Suzuki will be hoping he can continue his winning streak at this track. The circuit is located approximately 60 miles North East of Tokyo. The transfer can take up to two hours but gives you Toykyo as a base each evening which we feel makes up for the Journey time.
Japan is a land of sharp contrasts and incredible beauty. The seasons are quite distinct with cherry blossom heralding the arrival of Spring , hot Summers, the amazing changing colours of Autumn and harsh Winters.
In the midst of the modern skyscraper cities you can still witness the rich cultural heritage in the parks, gardens and temples and in the customs and traditions of daily life, which is still largely governed by ancient ritual.
As a tourist there’s plenty of choice. Western-style cuisine is commonplace and in the restaurants and shops you will find English-speaking people.
