From Nokonoshima to a three-day stay in Uminonakamichi
The previous two editions were held at Nokonoshima Camp Village. In 2026, the festival moves to INN THE PARK FUKUOKA, a stay-oriented facility inside Uminonakamichi Seaside Park. Its bayfront setting includes sphere tents, campsites, bathing facilities and food spaces.
The extra day is intended to leave room for more than DJ sets: morning coffee, sauna time, workshops, conversations around a fire and spontaneous meetings are part of the festival concept. Decide whether to make a day trip or stay only after the ticket and accommodation conditions for your chosen dates are clear.

The Resident Advisor listing checked on 27 August includes the following names:
CMT / COCO / DJ FUMI / Eita Godo / GE-OLOGY / Ground / Idjut Boys / Kengo Groove / KIORA / Mr. Disco Kid / NAOKI / OCCA / Rei Nakagawa / RYO / DJ SO / Tonbo / ÜuMA / YSK.
Performance dates and times have not all been confirmed in the source article. If you are travelling for one artist, wait for the timetable before fixing non-refundable transport or accommodation.
Access planning
INN THE PARK FUKUOKA is in the eastern Hikari-to-Kaze Square area of Uminonakamichi Seaside Park. The park has several entrances and parking areas. Festival entry points, parking, shuttle arrangements and late-evening transport can differ from normal park operations, so use the event’s final access notice rather than an ordinary sightseeing route.
- Check the final train, bus or shuttle after the last performance.
- Confirm which park gate and parking area festival visitors must use.
- For a three-day pass, compare staying on site with accommodation near Saitozaki or central Fukuoka.
- Check rules for re-entry, bags, food, rain gear and camping equipment.
