About the event

Originally based on the base of Mount Fuji, the iconic Japanese music festival is now the largest outdoor music festival in all of Japan. The 3 day event, now held at Naeba Ski Resort in Yuzawa, Niigata, will be sure to headline famous and well known rock and EDM musicians.

The site

The main performing stage, the Green Stage, can hold up to 50,000 people in it. To access some of the other stages you may need to adventure through mountainous and rocky terrain. These trails have spectacular views as you trek through luscious green forest and blue rivers to get to the other venues. The Oasis is the place you go for refreshments and food, with over 30 food stalls from all over the world there ready to revitalise you so you can rave for the rest of the night. The highest gondola in the world, the Dragondola, is there to carry festival goers to the top of the mountain to have a complete view of the entire site.

Style

Wearing clothing that is not only stylish but also proactive is key in music festivals like the Fuji Rock Festival. A sunhat, crop top, shorts and sunglasses like the Celine Pretty’s or the Ray-Ban Clubround’s  are essentials to optimise look at Naeba Ski Resort when the sun is shining intensely and the heat is rising.

You could also go for the rocker look, which would look ideal at rock festivals like these. Leather boots, shorts, Ray-Ban Clubmasters topped off with a backpack and band tee truly shows that you are at the festival for one thing and one thing only – the music!

Another great look you could go for is the mini skirt and crop top style. With a pair of Converse All-Stars, a short white mini skirt, a pair of Tods and a handbag, you will be all ready for spending the day out looking great and feeling great!
