FES.!!! FES.!!! FES.!!!! Vol.01
If we went to a festival. in FUJI&SUN '23

It is now a comfortable season to spend time outside, and the long-awaited festival season has arrived. Just as there are many different forms of festivals held every week somewhere in Japan, there are also many different ways to enjoy festivals. If you can enjoy them in your own way without disturbing others, you are sure to have a great time. So, what are some ways to enjoy a festival? If you are wondering what kind of fun you can have at a festival, let us introduce you to one. I went to "FUJI & SUN'23" in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture, together with an independent print label, "PAJ STUDIO. I think I learned something new about the appeal of festivals from the way these two play at festivals.

After a tiring day at the hot springs, drive home.

After filling our stomachs, our next destination was the popular day-trip hot spring facility "Healthy Park Susono. The hot springs, rich in sodium, calcium, and chloride, are said to be effective in beautifying skin, retaining heat, and relieving fatigue. It is the perfect oasis for two people tired of playing at the festival.

On a clear day, one can even see Mt. Fuji while soaking in the outdoor bath. Fuji. Although the weather was unfavorable and we did not get to see this view, the two exhausted festival-goers seemed to have blown off their accumulated fatigue by getting fit in the sauna, a hobby of theirs.

SHUTO: Well, it was really nice. Not only was there an outdoor bath, but there was also a sauna, which I love. There was also a well-stocked store, so I bought some souvenirs to take home!

TAKA: I knew that the outdoors and hot springs go hand in hand. I was very tired, but I recovered at once. If it is a clear day, I would like to come back because it seems you can see Mt.

On the way home, just in case, the battery is recharged; an EV fast charging station can charge approximately 501 TP10T in 30 minutes.

After regaining their energy at the hot springs, they headed back to Tokyo, where they enjoyed music, local delicacies, and hot springs, despite the weather on both days.

SHUTO: It was my first time at a festival with so many famous artists and it was a lot of fun. It's good to dance at a rave, but it's also good to get excited at a live concert. The rain made me feel stronger, so the bad weather turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The hot spring bath after the festival was unforgettably pleasant.

TAKA: The rain was unfortunate, but the fun outweighed the rain. I was able to see my favorite artists, and of course, I became interested in genres that I normally don't listen to. Also, the tacos I had for lunch on the first day were the best I've ever had. My only regret is that I forgot to eat sweets at the venue. It's all about food, isn't it? It was a very satisfying two days, and I enjoyed not only the festival but also the surrounding area.
