Before making plans

Date and venue
This is an outdoor festival in Itoshima, not a city-center concert in Hakata or Tenjin. Alongside the music, the event includes food, merchandise, art and a kids area, so you can combine stage time with breaks around the grounds.

Tickets, the drink charge and children’s admission
A general advance ticket costs ¥4,000, with another ¥500 collected for one drink at reception. That makes ¥4,500 before any applicable ticketing fees. Do not budget on the ¥4,000 admission price alone.

| Required drink for the listed general ticket | ¥500 at reception |
| Junior-high-school ticket | ¥1,000 |
| Elementary school and younger | Free admission |
On October 20, TIGET listed general advance purchase and pay-at-venue reservations as having limited availability, with a deadline of October 26 at 23:59. The junior-high prepaid option was closed, while the junior-high reservation option was still listed. Check the individual ticket type rather than assuming every option is available.
Pay-at-venue ticket reservations require cash at reception. Prepaid purchase options and ticketing fees are separate, so read the selected option’s conditions before completing a booking. Availability and payment acceptance can change.

Getting there and visiting with children
Use the full venue name 磯の屋オートキャンプ場 縄文広場 when checking your route. Isonoya also operates other premises, so do not navigate to the restaurant simply because its name matches. The address for this event is 2556 Shima Keya.
Open the Isonoya campsite map. Plan both the outward and return journey before buying tickets; check the event’s own arrangements rather than assuming a shuttle or parking is included.
A kids area is planned, and the organizer welcomes families. Admission categories use Japanese school levels: if your child’s eligibility is unclear, check with the organizer before booking. Free admission does not mean food or purchases are included. For other family outings, see Fukuoka activities for families with young children.
Before setting out, check the official ROOTS FESTIVAL Instagram for announcements, including changes to the program or outdoor-event arrangements.
