For today, my Nanki ticket was for the Non-Reserved car, meaning no seat is guaranteed. And in this case, it wasn’t even in that train car. There were so many people with Non-Reserved tickets that they started filling any standing space in every car.
I was lucky-ish and my standing spot was right next to the large luggage storage racks, so I was able to put my backpack down and effectively had a counter to stand at.
Once to the station and finishing my 20-minute walk to the track, I visited the Honda Racing Gallery. Suzuka is the home of Honda Racing, so they had some of their previous cars on display.
I also discovered that not many people realized there were bathrooms here, so the line was incredibly short compared to every other spot at the track.
