Mori, Michi, Ichiba lets you enjoy live performances by top-tier artists while camping in a rented-out amusement park, all for a 1-day ticket price of 5,300 yen. Yes, this event was born from the passion, enthusiasm, craze, and inexhaustible love of people who just absolutely love having a good time.
The artist lineup has been announced and you can check it out on the Artist Lineup page!
It’s looking to be a very hot one this year, too. I’m so excited…
Mori, Michi, Ichiba gathers hundreds of small but passionate and discerning shops, food vendors, and makers from all over Japan. It seems that even if you want to set up shop, it’s not easy to get in, and because they want the quality to improve every year, there is very little turnover among the vendors.
"Sneaks," the joint venture shop by Aliba and Larder that you all know, takes on the challenge with full force every year as if this is their big moment!
Did you know that Mori, Michi, Ichiba encourages people to arrive by bicycle? – BIKE to Mori, Michi, Ichiba
The biggest selling point is that Mori, Michi, Ichiba supports bicycle access by providing bike parking, a dedicated bicycle entrance, and a bicycle-only campsite.
While taking a bike to a festival might still be seen as something only for enthusiasts, I think it’s wonderful to have a festival/market where lots of local people gather using bicycles as their daily means of transportation.
Furthermore, there are benefits like avoiding crowded trains and buses, staying in hotels or parking cars a bit further away to avoid high parking fees, and simply riding a few kilometers to the venue is enough to enjoy a comfortable experience.
So, what should you do if you decide to go by bike?
I’m going to explain the steps now.
First, get your ticket.
Circles sells exclusive admission tickets for those arriving by bicycle.
The price and basic rules are exactly the same as the official tickets; the difference is that you can enter through the dedicated bicycle entrance instead of the crowded main gate.
Admission tickets are exchanged for wristbands at the reception on the day. Since you can exchange your ticket for a wristband right there at the bicycle entrance, you can enter smoothly.
Then, just park your bike in the exclusive bike parking area right inside, and all that's left is to have fun!
The location of the dedicated entrance is the same as in previous years: the re-entry gate in the Sea Area. We will also inform all ticket purchasers of the details via email.
If you bought a bicycle ticket but can’t make it by bike on the day, that’s fine too. You can exchange it for a wristband and enter just like everyone else.
First, let’s buy your admission ticket! ⇩
If you want to camp, buy a bicycle camping ticket.
Mori, Michi, Ichiba is hard to see in just one day if you look closely. For a more enjoyable experience, we recommend camping overnight.
For those participating with bikepacking setups, we are selling smaller spaces than the general tent sites.
We will have a dedicated zone in the on-site camping area again this year. Coin showers in the amusement park zone are available, so it’s okay if you arrive drenched in sweat!
Notes are as follows!
※ The price is the same for one or two nights.
※ If multiple people are using the space, have the representative purchase one ticket.
※ Sharing with people arriving by other means is also OK. (e.g., one person on a bike, others by car, etc.) However, please arrange parking separately.
※ A separate admission ticket is required.
If you are camping, you need a night admission ticket in addition to the standard admission ticket. We will provide information on how to apply for the night ticket on the day or just before the event.
