This year is the 5th anniversary of ULTRA JAPAN. The festival takes place over three weekends from September 15th to 17th. More than 100,000 people from all over the world came together to experience the world's best DJs in one place. Every year, Ultra specializes in using the ultimate stages for famous stars with audiovisual performances that maximally stimulate the audience's five senses!
This year's festival includes MAIN STAGE, RESISTANCE STAGE and ULTRA PARK STAGE as well as the Onitsuka Tiger fashion street. This year was also the first time that the festival included a women's only area with a guest toilet (a courtesy for women's toilets in a public building, such as a restaurant, hotel, theater, etc.). There are spacious open spaces all around where participants can sit on air mattresses and even have a small picnic with friends. No matter where you go, ULTRA prepares everything for everyone's enjoyment.
It seems to have become an annual tradition for ULTRA JAPAN to have at least one day-long typhoon take part in the festival. This year, the Red Bull Bar is even transformed into a mini onsen, but come rain or shine, people will dance to their hearts' content to the beats of electronic dance music.
If you're looking forward to attending this epic festival next year, be sure to check out the ULTRA JAPAN website in February. Early bird tickets are sold at this time and sell out almost immediately. Regular prices for ULTRA JAPAN are usually around 14,000 yen for one day or 0,30,000 yen for a VIP ticket per day. There is also the option to purchase a special 3-day pass for ¥39,000.
