What you should know before you go

The sixth running of Kansai’s drift-and-show-car festival: drift entries and static show cars judged side by side, with DJ music, race queens, shop stalls and food, closing with an award ceremony where each winning car is driven up to the main stage. The organiser says 2026 adds a new course layout seen only at this event. Held on a public holiday (Tuesday 22 September). Entry was via the official LINE in two rounds — the second closed on 30 August 2026 — so the day is for spectators now. None of this appears on Okuibuki’s own site, which publishes only its own event list. On 17 September the organiser posted that the typhoon had veered and the event looked set to go ahead, with weather updates to follow — check its X account (@TrackConnection) before travelling.

About Gransnow Okuibuki / Okuibuki Motorpark

Getting there: Ski resort in Maibara, northern Shiga. Nearest station Ōmi-Nagaoka; the Maichan Bus (¥800, weekdays only, three a day) and the book-by-phone Maichan-go shared taxi both stop at Kōzuhara, about 3 km short of the gate — a regular taxi from the station closes the gap

Circuit fees: Weekday individual run ¥15,000 per person, accepted from three days out, capped near ten people and only when nobody has hired the lot that day. Whole car-park hire ¥60,000–300,000 a day tax included (Lot 4, the JAF-certified 12,000 m² course, is ¥140,000 weekday / ¥300,000 Sunday), pylons free, cash on the day unless prepaid. Season April–November, 8:00–17:00. Booking is web-only since 2026 and the whole season opens at 00:00 JST on 1 March
