So like if you search
鈴鹿サーキット(Suzuka Circuit)
You get a link to suzukacircuit.jp as a top result, but to navigate directly there I think you have to type suzukacircuit.jp in Latin characters
You can often change your kanji + kana into romanji (latin characters) as an autocorrect suggestion
Ah gotcha I should have figured they probably weren't typing URLs directly that much. I guess I'm probably an outlier even among western users for doing that.
