Ferrari will host their 2016 International Cavalcade, a supercar gathering and ‘rally’, in Japan.
Held between November 10 and 14, the event celebrates 50 years of Ferrari in the Land of the Rising Sun and also coincides with the 150th anniversary of trade relations between the two countries.
Organized in the former imperial capital city of Kyoto, this year’s Ferrari International Cavalcade has brought together approximately 70 Prancing Horses, driven by clients from more than 24 nations. The list is impressive, and includes past and present supercars and hypercars, including the F40, Enzo, 599 GTB, the limited edition F12tdf and the hybrid LaFerrari.
The itinerary saw Ferraristi arrive at a five-star hotel in Kyoto, in the Kansai Area, in the first day, only to drive off to the Awaji Island, heaading to Akashi Kaikyo bridge, on the second day. Guests then put their rides through their paces on the Central Circuit before checking out the rural landscape of Sasayama.
On the third day, the group will drive around Lake Biwa and go to Hieizan Enryakui, a UNESCO site, with a stop at the Castle of Hikone, while the fourth and final day will see them head south to explore the ancient capital of Nara, with stops at the Todai-ji Temple, the remains of the Heijo Imperial Palace and the summit of Mt. Wakakusa. Additionally, they will also visit Osaka, passing through Midosuji, only to stop at the Castle.
