The venue is accessible via Maizuru Station, which can be reached from Kyoto or Osaka. Most festivals of this scale provide shuttle bus services from the nearest station to the harbor park for a small fee. We can help you check the shuttle schedules and pickup points as the event date approaches.

What happens if it rains on the day of the festival?

Outdoor music festivals in Japan generally proceed “rain or shine” but may be suspended in the case of severe weather like typhoons or lightning. We recommend checking the weather forecast and bringing a raincoat, as umbrellas are usually prohibited inside the viewing areas for safety and visibility reasons.
