Where to stay
Where to stay for Japan Cup.
The Japan Cup is one afternoon: Sunday 29 November 2026, at Tokyo Racecourse in Fuchu, in the west of the Tokyo metropolis. Almost nobody stays in Fuchu for it; the pattern is a central Tokyo base and a ride out to the course for the race, which is why the district advice below is Tokyo's.
The event
Japan Cup 2026 (G1 horse race) runs Sun 29 Nov 2026 at Tokyo Racecourse. Dates, the official source and the full listing are on the event page.
Which district
Shinjuku for transport and range, Asakusa for the old city and festival mornings, the Tokyo Station and Ginza side for polish. Stay on the Yamanote loop and everything is one train away.
