Location
History
Suzuka Circuit Inō Station opened on 1 September 1973 as Inō Station on the Japan National Railways Ise Line. On 27 March 1987, five days before the JNR's dissolution, the Ise Line was transferred to the third-sector Ise Railway and the station was renamed to its present form, advertising its role as the nearest railway access to the Suzuka Circuit roughly 25 minutes away on foot. The station has two opposed side platforms on an embankment, with no station building; it is normally unstaffed, but during the Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race and the Formula One Japanese Grand Prix temporary ticket counters and additional stopping services are provided, with a special limited express run for the Grand Prix.
Notes
On Formula One Japanese Grand Prix days the station hosts a dedicated limited express, the "Suzuka Grand Prix", that begins and ends here — necessitating empty deadhead runs between Tsu, Yokkaichi or Tamagaki and this station because the station has no passing loops, crossovers or holding sidings.
