Fuji Rock Festival is the largest music festival in all of Asia, held annually at the Naeba Ski Resort in Niigata Prefecture. The stages are scattered across various locations throughout the mountain area. Although the music primarily centers around British rock, other genres such as country, electronic, remix, and metal can also be found on the various stages across Fujirock’s mountain grounds. Over the course of three days and nights, fans come together through music, enjoying an atmosphere full of excitement and wild parties — truly a pilgrimage destination for any music lover. In addition to the music, the festival also features numerous food stalls, and many people choose to camp right on-site during the event. Of course, there are also plenty of nearby guesthouses offering accommodations.
