Important note on short-term rentals in Japan: Japan has specific regulations around short-term accommodation rentals (minpaku).

When booking on Airbnb or similar platforms, ensure the listing has a valid registration number. Look for properties in the 東大阪市, Minato, Shibuya, or Shinjuku areas for best festival access. Group apartments from ¥15,000–¥30,000/night can work out very cost-effective for groups of 4–8 people.

Accommodation FAQs

Common questions about staying near the festival.

What is on-site camping like at Joyful Craft Space?

On-site camping is the most immersive way to experience the festival! The campsite is located within the festival grounds, a short walk from all stages. Facilities include showers, toilets, charging stations, a dedicated camping café, and 24-hour security. Camping is an add-on to your festival ticket — visit camping.html for full details on pitches, glamping upgrades, and what to bring. Camping tickets must be purchased alongside a valid festival pass.

What time is check-in at partner hotels?

Check-in times vary by hotel — standard check-in at most 東大阪市 hotels is 15:00–16:00, with check-out at 11:00–12:00. We recommend contacting your hotel directly to request early check-in if you're arriving before the festival gates open. Many hotels offer luggage storage free of charge even if your room isn't ready, so you can head to the festival on arrival day without waiting.

Can I check out late on the final day (Monday 17 August)?

Late checkout on Monday 17 August (the final day) is subject to availability at your hotel. We recommend requesting late checkout when you book or calling the hotel a few days in advance. Some hotels may charge a half-day fee for late checkout. If you can't arrange late checkout, most hotels will store your luggage until you're ready to leave — meaning you can attend the final day of the festival before collecting your bags on the way to the airport or station.

Book your festival tickets first, then lock in your accommodation — don't leave it too late for August!
