(F1 Tokyo Fan Festival)

If you’ve spent any time in Tokyo, you’ve probably seen them—those tiny rental go-karts weaving through traffic, their drivers grinning as they cruise past towering skyscrapers. It’s a fun sight. But this spring, Tokyo’s streets are leveling up. Instead of miniature karts, the city will feel the full-throttle roar of real Formula 1 race cars as the F1 Tokyo Fan Festival 2025 takes over Odaiba from April 2 to April 6.

Celebrating F1’s 75th anniversary and 60 years since Honda’s first F1 victory, this event is bringing the sport out of Suzuka and into the heart of Tokyo. For four days, fans will get closer to the action than ever, with F1 cars on display, a public viewing experience, global food stalls, and live music performances.

What’s Happening at the F1 Tokyo Fan Festival?

The Odaiba Special Venue will be split into three zones, offering fans an all-encompassing F1 experience.

F1 Village Zone: The Ultimate Motorsport Playground

Ever wanted to stand beside a real F1 car or see what happens inside a pit garage? The F1 Village Zone will feature garage exhibits, interactive experiences, and official merchandise, along with a public viewing area where fans can watch the F1 Japanese Grand Prix unfold on massive screens.

World Food Circuit Zone: A Culinary Tour of Grand Prix Destinations

F1 travels across the globe, and so does its food. The World Food Circuit Zone will be lined with food trucks offering flavors from Grand Prix host countries, from British pub fare to Brazilian barbecue and Japanese street food.

Twilight Music Zone: Speed Meets Sound

Once the racing action wraps up for the day, the Twilight Music Zone will take over with live performances by major artists (announcement on March 7). With F1 highlights playing on giant screens and live music keeping the energy high, this zone blends motorsport and entertainment into one unforgettable experience.

Before the main event kicks off, a special pre-event on April 2 will bring current F1 drivers and team staff to Tokyo. Expect behind-the-scenes insights, exclusive interviews, and the chance to hear directly from the people who make F1 happen.
