Situated in the serene mountains of Chiba, Japan, the Magarigawa Private Racetrack offers a refreshing escape from city life for supercar enthusiasts across the globe. As the first private racetrack resort in Asia, Magarigawa holds a unique place in the hearts of motorsport admirers with its modern design, breath-taking scenery and world-class training facilities that combine to offer an unmatched racing experience.

 

However, the Magarigawa Club is more than just high-speed cars and thrills. It’s an exclusive haven that provides its members with luxurious amenities such as a stunning infinity pool and an on-trend karaoke room, all encased within the magnificent foothills of Mount Fuji.

 

 

The lush greenery and scenic beauty of the area provide a soothing environment for relaxation and focus, making every visit visually captivating and exhilarating.

 

Hermann Tilke, an esteemed architect known for designing iconic F1 circuits in cities like Las Vegas, Jeddah, and Abu Dhabi, is also the mastermind behind the Magarigawa Private Racetrack. With construction costing approximately $200 million, the racetrack exemplifies world-class design and engineering. The track, which stretches over a thrilling 2.17-mile distance, is a mix of uphill and downhill sections. With 22 heart-pounding corners, an 875-yard straight stretch and a winding return route, this track is pure adrenaline. Elevation changes of up to 1,000ft not only add thrill but also provide incredible views of the surrounding landscapes.

 

 

 

 

The club strikes the perfect balance between excitement and security by equipping the track with state-of-the-art safety measures, including a cutting-edge digital safety flag system that provides instant alerts about any potential hazards. To ensure minimal downtime and maximum peace of mind, an indoor pit lane offers quick access to professional support should any mechanical issues arise.

 

 

 

 

But what if you don't own a high-performance car or want to try something different? As a member of Magarigawa, you have the exclusive option to borrow the vehicle of your choice from their elite collection of supercars. This offering allows you to test drive various vehicles on the track, enhance your driving skills through different handling characteristics, and explore the world of motorsports from a broader perspective.

 

 

 

 

After an adrenaline-filled session on the track, unwind at the infinity pool offering panoramic views of Tokyo Bay and Mount Fuji. If you are keen on maintaining fitness levels, the state-of-the-art gym is equipped with modern exercise equipment catering to all your needs.

 

 

 

 

Paying homage to the rich history of Japanese architecture, the Magarigawa Clubhouse is a testament to elegance and functionality. Architect Tatsuya Ogawa has skillfully combined traditional Shinden-zukuri style with contemporary elements, resulting in a clubhouse that is both timeless and practical. This unique blend creates a holistic retreat that perfectly complements its natural surroundings.

An integral part of the Magarigawa Clubhouse experience is the offering of gender-segregated onsens. These traditional Japanese hot springs serve as sanctuaries within the club, providing members with an unrivaled relaxation experience. The therapeutic baths are filled with naturally heated mineral water from deep underground, known for its healing properties.

 

The design of the onsens ensures privacy while still allowing members to enjoy stunning views of the landscape. Whether you're soaking in the onsen's warm waters or witnessing a breathtaking sunset over Tokyo Bay, these spaces offer a sense of tranquility like no other.
