## Resource

Japan Grand Prix trip planning starts here, this is a Suzuka special for those thinking of going to the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix. In this episode, Di chats with Japan travel expert Tess Moone from Tessomewhere.com to help you plan a proper Japan trip, not just fly in, see the race, and fly out. We cover where to base yourself (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, or Nagoya), how to get around Japan using IC cards like Suica, how the Shinkansen works, what to eat and day trips and lesser-known spots like the Nakasendō trail hike in the Kiso Valley (Magome-juku to Tsumago-juku). Tess also shares practical etiquette and travel tips: why you shouldn’t eat while walking, why you’ll rarely see street bins, how to handle queues, cash vs card, and Japan’s incredibly convenient luggage forwarding service.
