Feel Japan Through Music

If you’re looking for convenient accommodation for the Fuji Rock Festival, the most popular choice is definitely the Naeba Prince Hotel, which is located right next to the festival venue. It’s often called the “dream hotel” for Fuji Rock fans because of its unbeatable convenience—you can simply walk to the festival grounds and return to your room immediately after enjoying live performances late into the night. It’s extremely popular among international visitors as well, and reservations are so competitive that rooms often sell out almost like a lottery. Booking early is absolutely essential.

Another area that is especially popular with overseas travelers is around Echigo-Yuzawa Station. Many festival-goers say, “Echigo-Yuzawa is the best option for foreigners,” mainly because the shuttle bus access to the venue is very convenient.

Here are some highly recommended hotels in the area:
Yuzawa Grand Hotel
Located within walking distance of Echigo-Yuzawa Station, this hotel is extremely convenient for international visitors, especially those traveling to Japan for the first time. One of its biggest attractions is the choice between Japanese-style rooms and Western-style rooms, allowing guests to enjoy an authentic Japanese stay. The hotel also features natural hot springs, perfect for relaxing your body after a long day at Fuji Rock Festival. With easy access to shuttle buses, it’s highly recommended for travelers who value convenience and transportation access.

Shosenkaku Kagetsu
This traditional onsen ryokan is very popular among international travelers who want to experience a luxurious and authentic side of Japan. It is known for its beautiful Japanese-style design, peaceful atmosphere, highly rated hot springs, and delicious Japanese cuisine. Located close to Echigo-Yuzawa Station, it offers the perfect combination of festival excitement and traditional Japanese culture. Since the environment is relatively quiet, it’s also ideal for guests who want to relax and unwind after the live performances.

Booking Tips
Accommodation during Fuji Rock fills up extremely quickly. In particular, hotels around the Naeba area are known to sell out almost immediately after the artist lineup is announced, so be sure to book as early as possible.
