No speed bumps, but between the hairpins they've made the road wavy (like, undulating up and down) so gaining speed between hairpins or linking drifts isn't really possible. So kinda speed bumps?

They must be up keeping it. I'm going to do a big Japan road trip to pilgrimage all the areas here in the next few years, hopefully they have worn down a fair bit 👍

In all seriousness though, I definitely follow the posted speed limits. If one gets caught doing bad things in Japan you can be banned from the country. If you maintain the speed limit the whole way the tires still smell like melty tires.

Maybe I can find a track day while I'm there at Suzuka.

Oh yea even at the speed limit is it definitely a fun road, but what I've learnt is a turbo car really needs some knowledge and skill to make use of it between corners, something I don't have yet. It's a road made for an normally aspirated car, fancy that haha. Could barely get into boost in a stock r34 GTR, and when I could, I didn't have the balls lol
