Real estate is a serious game at Fuji Rock. If you want to be in the very very front front for a set, you’ll need to nab early and hold on to your spot. When it is hot you’ll find shady areas quickly snapped up. Similarly, tent space during sudden rains can be the most prime property of all at Fuji Rock. But the coolest, most comfortable and most photogenic spot has to be the bamboo trellises bordering the back of Field of Heaven.

They are the perfect places to get above it all, shaded by the forest and providing an excellent view of the stage. And don’t be afraid to scramble up to the top! That’s where the best sitting is after all.
