This year marks the fifth year of the FUJI&SUN camping festival. The festival offers two days in the great outdoors where you can listen to music, move your body and enjoy food while feeling the energy of Mt. Fuji in the open space that only a camping festival can offer.
Two additional acts have been announced for the final line-up.Singer-songwriter Satoko Shibata has attracted attention from the literary world as a poet, spinning her words with a formless expression.
And the psychedelic band HAPPY (healing resolution set), with an air of the 60s and 70s, will perform a special set for one night only.
This year’s varied line-up, which has increased to three stages and connects the overground and underground, is a special experience of the joy of encountering new music, transcending the boundaries of genres and generations.
Fuji and the rich nature of the surrounding mountains and sea, a market area where you can enjoy delicious food that can only be found here, and a wide range of carefully selected outdoor goods and stylish accessories that will add a touch of glamour to the festival.
