Prepare for the summer music festival in Japan

Looking forward to calories, crowds and lots of walking

The summer festival in Japan is very intense. The temperature in July is usually over 30 degrees Celsius and the humidity is high. Most festivals are full-day or multi-day events, and many festivals are outdoors. Expected schedules, multiple stages and large crowds. Whether you’re in a city park or a ski resort, you’ll stand up a lot – so it takes a long time.

What to wear

Lightweight, breathable clothing is crucial. Choose fast-dry fabrics to avoid heavy cotton. Bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen and handle it for a long time in the sun. For rural festivals like Fuji Rock, good grip on waterproof shoes or sandals is smart because sudden downpour is common. Always carry rain or compact umbrellas.

What to bring

  • Reusable water bottles (many places have recharge stations)
  • A small towel
  • Portable phone charger
  • Cash (some suppliers do not accept cards)
  • Ear plugs
  • Foldable chair or blanket

Purchase Tickets

Festive tickets in Japan are usually sold through local platforms such as E+ (E-Plus), Lawson Ticket or Rakuten tickets. Some festivals offer sales in English through their websites. Buy early – Many events sold out. If you attend for more than a day, consider camping in advance or booking nearby accommodation.
