FDJ3 2026 Final at Tsukuruma Circuit Nasu: Tickets and Access (1 Nov)

The 2026 FDJ3 season final, YOKOHAMA Presents FDJ3 Round 6, runs at Tsukuruma Circuit Nasu (Tochigi) on Sunday 1 November 2026. Admission is ¥3,000 and parking ¥1,500, sold only at the gate on the day, so there is no advance ticket and no deadline. We checked every date, price and time below on the official pages on 25 Oct 2026.

FDJ3 is the entry tier of Formula Drift Japan, below FDJ2 and the top class. Our Formula Drift Japan guide explains how the three series fit together. This page covers what is specific to the final: the day’s schedule, what you pay, and the one step that can go wrong if you come by train.

What is the timetable for the FDJ3 final?

Formula Drift Japan published the timetable and running order on 23 October. It warns that both may change without notice.

Qualifying is tansō (単走), solo runs scored by judges. The afternoon is tsuisō (追走), the tandem chase battles that give the sport its name. If you can only make half the day, make it the afternoon.

How much does it cost to watch, and where do you buy tickets?

The admission notice, posted on 20 October, is short and clear.

That makes this round easier than most Japanese drift events for a visitor. You do not need a Japanese ticketing app, a convenience-store pickup or an L-code. You just turn up and pay. The notice does not say whether cards are taken, so bring cash. Food trucks and stalls are planned on the day.

Is the 2026 FDJ3 title decided at Tsukuruma?

Yes, on the official numbers it is still open. The 2026 FDJ3 standings page on formulad.jp now includes Round 5, and it reads like this before the final:

At Round 5, Peres took 106 points: 6 for topping qualifying and 100 for winning the final. Both Notsu and Minakawa sit closer than that. Peres won the last two rounds, and how he took the lead at Fuji is in our FDJ3 Round 5 Fuji results. The organiser’s own notice adds a second fight: the race for FDJ2 promotion rights.

How do you get to Tsukuruma Circuit Nasu without a car on a Sunday?

Nasu-shiobara is a Tohoku Shinkansen stop, so the train is the easy part. The circuit is about 12 km away by road, and no scheduled bus reaches its district, Takabayashi. The only public link is Yu-Taku, the city’s demand taxi: a shared car that runs on a timetable, but only when someone has booked it.

We rechecked it for a Sunday. The Takabayashi–Kuroiso line timetable has no weekday or Sunday split, and the city’s fare table lists only 1 to 3 January as days off. So the usual services should run on 1 November.

The times work. You arrive in time for qualifying, and the return leaves about half an hour after the podium ends. The walking distance from Takabayashi-jūmonji to the gate is not published, so treat it as TBC. Our D1 Lights Tsukuruma tickets and access guide and the Tsukuruma Circuit Nasu drift guide cover the route in more detail.

The catch is the booking. On this line, the morning service has to be booked by phone by the day before. For a Sunday final, that means calling on Saturday 31 October, between 8:00 and 18:00. The leaflet does not list days when the phone line is closed. On the call you give the line, the service number, where you board and alight, and how many people. The operator then asks for your name, address and phone number. None of this is in English. Miss the call and there is no 07:50 car on Sunday morning.

What should you bring on the day?

Every FDJ, FDJ2 and FDJ3 date we track, plus the rest of the November calendar, is on the TSUISO event calendar.
