October weather should be nice too — I want to go ride the light rail myself.

This kind of region-wide buildup for the Japanese GP wasn't a thing back in the day.

Never been to Utsunomiya — is it actually easy to get to?

Sounds like they've set up shuttle bus coordination, so it should be fine.

A wrapped tram — that instantly gets me hyped.
