the kazekage and hokage were the only kages from the allied villages who join together for the exams, and if you watch the episode where the prelims end and the hokage explains the final exam, he says that its a month delay to give the daimyos AND the kazekage time to arrive as well as time for the genins to hone their stills
Also, watch the scene where the hokage welcomes the kazekage to the stadium. The kazekage says something along the lines of "its a good thing the exam took place here this year, it would be a difficult journey for you at your age"......indicating that both kages are involved with watching the final matches regardless of the location of the exam
