FUJI ROCK FESTIVALFri, 7/25 – Sun, 7/27, Niigata Prefecture

Speaking of Fuji Rock, it’s one of Japan’s three major music festivals. It’s a large outdoor rock festival that draws over 100,000 attendees across three days every year. The venue is Naeba Ski Resort in Niigata Prefecture. You can enjoy a wide range of musical genres across stages of various sizes, and at night there are all-night DJ events—truly a festival where you can immerse yourself in music. Plus, just being at a festival set in the great outdoors is enough to get your heart racing. If you’re a music fan, it’s a festival you should attend at least once.

Heavy Snow JAMSat, May 31 – Sun, June 1, Niigata Prefecture

Gosetsu JAM was launched in Tokamachi, Niigata—the event venue—after organizers asked, “What can we do to draw people here?” and decided on a music festival. There probably aren’t any other outdoor festivals held in such a heavy-snow area, are there? With humorous rules like “Moshing and stage diving prohibited; oshikura manju (friendly shoving) allowed,” it sounds like a really fun event.
