If a December trip to Fuji Speedway has been sitting in the dangerous “maybe I should…” part of your brain, NISMO has now supplied a price.

General admission tickets for NISMO Festival at Fuji Speedway 2026 went on sale October 1, ahead of the event on Sunday, December 6.

The festival is scheduled to run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Japan Standard Time at Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka and marks the 26th running of Nissan Motorsports & Customizing’s factory-backed fan gathering.

Advance admission is ¥3,000, rising to ¥4,000 on the day.

What is on sale now

NISMO’s Japanese ticket page lists general admission through several domestic ticketing services.

Junior-high-school-age children and younger, along with visitors age 65 and older, receive free admission under the current ticket terms.

Parking is separate.

NISMO says advance four-wheel and motorcycle parking passes are planned for release around mid-October, with further details to follow on the festival website.

There is also a new U25 discount planned for roughly the same period. NISMO says that ticket will cover eligible attendees from high-school age through 25, although the final sale date and pricing have not yet been posted on the ticket page reviewed.

So if you are booking an entire Japan trip around the festival, the entry ticket is currently the easy part. Parking and some special-program tickets are still a moving target.

What the festival has actually confirmed

Nissan and NMC announced the event in July as the 26th NISMO Festival, returning to Fuji Speedway on December 6.

The planned program includes historic and current race-car demonstrations, static displays, driver talk shows, a circuit safari, current Nissan production vehicles, NISMO road cars, children’s activities, vendors and merchandise booths.

That wording matters because the announcements reviewed do not yet provide a detailed vehicle roster.

It is reasonable to expect plenty of Nissan motorsport history at a NISMO Festival.

It is not reasonable to promise that a particular Z, GT-R or retired race chassis will be there until NISMO names it.

Why this is more than a GT-R gathering

For Z fans, the appeal of the festival is broader than whichever car is currently carrying the NISMO badge.

Nissan describes the event as bringing different eras of its racing history together: past and present race machinery, road cars and opportunities to meet the people behind the brand.

That mixture is what separates a manufacturer-run festival from a normal car show.

You are not only looking at finished cars.

You are seeing the family tree.

NISMO’s current event language promises past and present race machinery alongside road cars and future ambitions, so the 2026 festival is intended to span more than one period of Nissan performance.

Exactly which vehicles remains a question for the detailed program.

The useful planning details

The event is scheduled for December 6, 2026, at Fuji Speedway, 694 Nakahinata, Oyama, Sunto District, Shizuoka Prefecture.

NISMO’s Japanese event overview lists a planned 5 a.m. gate opening, with the main festival beginning at 8 a.m., and says the event will proceed in rain. All times are Japan Standard Time.

For overseas visitors, that early opening is worth noticing.

Fuji Speedway is not a casual stroll from central Tokyo, and anybody trying to catch the first track activity should build the transport plan before discovering at breakfast that Mount Fuji is not, in fact, located next to Shinjuku Station.

The full program is still coming.

The ticket gate, however, is officially open.
