The pinnacle of music festivals – Fuji Rock 2009

InsideJapan Tours announces seven-night Fuji Rock package for £839 pp. The Killers, Oasis, Franz Ferdinand, Basement Jaxx, Simian Mobile Disco and Ben Harper are among the acts already confirmed to play at this year’s Fuji Rock (July 24-26) – one of the most extraordinary music festivals in the world.

The event has got bigger and bigger since it was first held in 1997 and today
draws headliners from across the globe, with performers in previous years including Red hot Chilli Peppers, Radiohead, Coldplay, Iggy Pop, Eminem and Bootsy Collins.

First held at the base of the iconic Mt Fuji, Fuji Rock now takes place amongst the foothills of Mt Naeba. Although it has grown over the years, the festival remains true to its principles of independence, respect for the environment, cooperation and great music – all with a Japanese twist. And this twist includes the chance to take a cable car almost 1,800m to the top of the mountain for a bird’s eye view of the action, and the countryside beyond, or combine a festival visit with a climb up the mighty Mt Fuji, which stands at 3,776m tall. The ascent is only possible when conditions are right during July and August and trips to take it in can be tailor-made by InsideJapan Tours.

There are many ways in which Fuji Rock is a little out of the ordinary. As well being perhaps the greenest festival in the world (the event is carbon neutral), it is also the cleanest with spotless toilets, showers and natural hot spring baths. And instead of third-rate over-priced food, an array of vendors are on hand to provide a fantastic culinary selection – including Japanese specialities - at cheap prices, along with some good quality beer. On top of all this Fuji Rock is full of ultra-friendly people.

InsideJapan Tours’ seven night Fuji Rock Festival 2009 package includes three nights’ hotel accommodation with breakfast in Tokyo, three-day festival tickets, camp site ticket, tent and sleeping mats (delivered to site), four-day rail passes covering all transfers within Japan and InsideJapan Tours’ invaluable Info-Pack, from £839 per person. Excludes international flights which can be booked through InsideJapan Tours from £469 with Finnair. InsideJapan Tours can tailor a trip around the festival to take climbs up Mt Fuji.
