Concert on the Rock

Posted by Jon Wilks 31 January 2006

A rockfest extravaganza to rival the more famous Fuji Rock and Summer Sonic, Concert on the Rock features some of the best live talent Japan has to offer.

Pitched on the side of Mount Hachimen in nearby Oita Prefecture, affording spectacular views of the Inland Sea, the event is known as much for the onstage talent as for its rural setting.

Free onsite camping is available to weekend pass holders, while lovers of the more traditional might seek out accommodation at the local Kanairo Hotspring resort.

Take a train from Hakata Station to Nakatsu, Oita Prefecture. The journey is aaround 1hr 10 minutes; www.concertontherock.com
