Finally, the long-awaited festival season is upon us. Many of you must be thinking about which festival to go to this year. For those people, I would like to recommend THE CAMP BOOK 2018. With the concept of "Be-In CAMPUS = Let's learn and play together," this outdoor festival offers a wide variety of contents that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people.
The first one held last yearwas a great success, with HOUYHNHNM also exhibiting a booth. This year, the event has been upgraded with a new location. Performers included Tommy Guerrero, a charismatic figure in American West Coast street culture, eastern youth, which continues to have a profound influence on the Japanese rock and punk scene, Your Song is Good, a seven-piece instrumental band that plays live dance music, Ishino Takkyu Ishino, Nagaru & MAHBIE, CAPTAIN VINYL, and more.
. There will also be a variety of non-music content such as movies, radio-controlled racing, tent saunas, and climbing. The event will also include a "Hennerbender Human-Powered Face Painting Vending Machine" where parents and children can enjoy unique portraits by the popular illustrator Yuya Hashizume, making it a fun event for the whole family.
Furthermore, there will be a variety of food booths to satisfy your hunger. At the booths of "Kamidate Shoten" by Kamidate Kogen Ski Resort and "THE GOOD BEER HUNTER TOKYO," a unit that selects, buys, and directs craft beers from Japan and abroad, visitors can enjoy beers that are hard to find anywhere else. The booths will feature local Niigata ingredients and many stores from around the region that boast of their own unique tastes, so this is a must-see event.
Of course, the festival is also equipped with rest facilities after a long day of fun at the festival. The "God's Hot Spring" bathing facility, located within a 5-minute walking distance from the main stage, is open to visitors on both days. （Those who wish to participate for two days but are not comfortable camping overnight need not worry.
