In which country is the motorsport race track Fuji Speedway located?

Fuji Speedway is a motorsport race track standing in the foothills of Mount Fuji, Japan. It was built in the early 1960s. Originally managed by Mitsubishi Estate Co., Fuji Speedway was acquired by Toyota Motor Corporation in 2000. Fuji Speedway has one of the longest straights in motorsport tracks, at 1.475 km (0.917 mi) in length.

Fuji Speedway Corporation was established in 1963 as Japan NASCAR Corporation. At first, the circuit was planned to hold NASCAR-style races in Japan (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing). Therefore, the track was originally designed to be a 4 km (2.5 mi) banked superspeedway, but there was not enough money to complete the project and only one of the bankings was completed.

Converted to a road course, the circuit opened in December 1965 and proved to be somewhat dangerous, with the wide banked turn (named "Daiichi") regularly resulting in major accidents.

After a fatal accident in 1974 on the Daiichi banking where drivers Hiroshi Kazato and Seiichi Suzuki were both killed in a fiery accident that injured 6 other people, a new part of track was built to counteract the problem, and the resultant 4.359 km (2.709 mi) course, which also eliminated 5 other fast corners, proved more successful.
