Fuji Rock 2013 - 26-28 July

It is never too early to start on your preparations for Fuji Rock. This incredibly popular music festival draws crowds from all over the world and accommodation books up quickly, so if you want to get a bed close to the festival venue, it is a good time to set the ball in motion. The dates for the Fuji Rock Festival 2013 are Friday 26th July, Saturday 27th July and Sunday 28th July.

Line up news is starting to come on line so if you are keeping an eye out for a certain artist then the anticipation can begin.

It is an amazing event that gets big name acts across many genres of music. There are stages dotted around the forests of Naeba Ski Resort and hordes of people descend on the Yuzawa area. There are buses from Echigo Yuzawa Station so you can stay up at Naeba or in and around the main Yuzawa town area. Or for the true festival experience, pack your tent and get ready to wash in the mountain streams of Snow Country!

Fuji Rock Festival 2012 - July 27 - 29

It is a few months away yet but it is never too early to get excited about the Fuji Rock Festival

Tickets are on sale and the line up is being updated regularly, with plenty of big names announcing their intention to perform this year. Keep an eye on the page to keep up-to-date with the latest news

It is a busy time of year up here so if you are booking accommodation it is a good idea to get organised early, or for those going for the full festival experience then camping is the only way to go.

Fuji Rock Over For Another Year

It's a few days since Fuji Rock at Naeba Ski Resort finished and Yuzawa is now pretty much back to normal after its yearly invasion by the masses. The weather tried to put a dampener on the festivities but the festival goers are a hardy bunch and a great time was head by all.

The festival organisers have a strong environmental focus which can be tough with tens of thousands gathering in the same place but it still remains one of the best music festivals set out in nature. Energy use is from self-generated sources, and even the paper rubbish is recycled for use during the next year's event.

Also, as one Brazilian tourist was overheard to remark, the Japanese people themselves contribute to making the festival a great success. Their friendliness, welcoming nature and consideration make Fuji Rock a great place for people of all ages to hang out and enjoy the music.

Good time this year and we're already counting the days until the next one.
