ホテル・旅行のニュースリリース・情報

On January 15, 2025, The GiftLife Inc. (GiftLife) is delighted to unveil its new luxury motorsport experience, designed to showcase Japan’s automotive heritage. As part of the Japan Tourism Agency’s initiative, this exclusive offering provides a variety of customizable packages, ensuring that every traveler can enjoy a seamless, personalized journey. The program features exhilarating circuit driving at the iconic Fuji Speedway, helicopter transfers, luxury accommodations, and driving tours of the Mount Fuji region.

The main stage of the experience takes place at the Fuji Speedway – a renowned motorsport

racetrack near Mount Fuji, celebrated for hosting past Formula 1 events and current GT motorsports competitions. By combining culturally innovative experiences and luxurious mobility, GiftLife aims to redefine inbound travel. Through collaborations with trusted travel partners and a focus on personalization, this initiative contributes to Japan’s growing reputation as a premier destination for high-end, unique experiences.

Celebrating Japan’s Automotive Heritage

Japan’s car culture, particularly JDM (Japan Domestic Market) vehicles, and its developed motorsports industry, represent two of the nation’s hidden cultural treasures. GiftLife’s program has been crafted to introduce these captivating treasures to international travelers, especially younger car enthusiasts intrigued by the distinct appeal of Japanese automotive heritage. By combining the allure of JDM vehicles and motorsports with immersive experiences, the program enables guests to explore motorsports as a regional industry and fully appreciate Japan’s automotive culture. Additionally, guided tours of the Mount Fuji area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, provide breathtaking views and an opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the region in a luxury vehicle.
