One small backpack < 20 L, no glass, no tripods over 1 m. Cashless sales dominate—bring a charged IC card.

V-Corner Grandstand overlooks Turns 9-11 hairpins.
Victory Corner Hill offers sight-lines to the podium—bring a picnic mat.

Hotel Higashinihon Utsunomiya—shuttle hub convenience.
Nikko Lakeside—nature retreat if you have a hire car.

Typhoon season: pack waterproofs even under clear skies. Last trains to Tokyo depart ≈ 22:00—plan accordingly.
