The track had a 24-hour race in 1967.

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 course, which also eliminated 5 other fast corners, proved more successful.

The speedway brought the first Formula One race to Japan at the end of the 1976 season.
