[2025 Chiba ] Travel Guide for ZOZO Marine Stadium (Updated Apr)

#MusicFestival #Tokyo #Chiba #summertravel #100 ways to travel Summer Sonic One of the largest music festivals in Japan Strong program lineup and convenient transportation Known as the most suitable music festival for novices to pursue overseas stars The performance lineup is mainly composed of well-known European and American artists, interspersed with big-name Japanese or Korean artists. Only here can you see the spectacle of the Mr.Children Gang’s grand finale to warm up the show. The headliners for 2023 are blur, Kendrick Lama & Liam (brother of Oasis), and the first show on the main stage is NewJeans!! (Oh my God, it smells so good) The Tokyo venue is at Seaside Makuhari Station (the same station as the Mitsui outlet, so supply is convenient). It can be reached on foot in ten minutes after exiting the station. The transportation is much more convenient than Fuji Rock. In terms of accommodation, you can stay at the Keiyo Line Extension Station, or you can stay in the center of Tokyo or just come to the venue for about an hour. When the venue is over, there are so many people heading towards Tokyo that it is often difficult to get on the train, so it is easier to go towards Soga. If you have enough budget and plan ahead, just stay nearby!! Seaside Makuhari Station is usually the venue for various large-scale exhibitions. There are many businesses and star-rated hotels in the surrounding area, but it is usually almost fully booked half a year before Summer Sonic. The venue is very large. The main stage is at the Marine Stage in Chiba Lode Marine. There will also be 3 stages in the indoor venue and 1 beach stage. All types of listeners can find the most suitable way to participate. You can lie down and stay on your favorite stage all day, or you can be a time management master and travel between stages. There is a shuttle bus between the main stage and the indoor area, but when there are many people, it may take more than half an hour to move between stages. Don't make the queue too full and the performances on both stages will be in vain~~ A little tip for laymen: If you want to get a good seat in the grandstand area of ​​the main stage to watch the Headliner, you can go and book a seat in the afternoon. Remember to sit on the right-hand side facing the stage. The stage is generally facing south and north. The right-hand side of the stage is on the west side so that you will not be directly hit by the setting sun. You will be exposed to the sun before you can wait till night~~ That’s about it, let’s experience the rest for ourselves

#tokyotrip Awesome baseball stadium! My local friend insist to bring me to a game.I still don’t get baseball though I understand the rules now. But maybe another game or two and might start liking baseball? I guess 🤔 ZOZO Marine Stadium is a great open air baseball stadium. A variety of seating options for different budgets. Staff were friendly and we were able to take food inside.They also allowed us to bring in our own drinks(I’m surprise)but they had to be transferred into plastic cups. They also have many small places to buy drink/food outside and inside of the stadium. If you have a chance to experience a baseball game in Japan I will highly recommend it. The atmosphere is totally awesome

About a 15-minute walk from Kaihin Makuhari Station. The stadium, home to the Chiba Lotte Marines, hosts Summer Sonic every year in mid-August. This is the first full-scale event since COVID-19. The headliners for 2022 are The 1975 and Post Malone. #event

#MusicFestival August 17th I went to Summer Sonic 2024 TOKYO! Despite the scorching heat of 39 degrees, I was able to see all the artists I wanted to see, except for one group, without getting sick! Here are my strategies for Summer Sonic and points to reflect on! ! Artists I was able to see🎸Number Eye, m-flo, Imase, OneRepublic,, Gen Hoshino, Temperley, Maneskin! Of course, there were cases where the time slots of the artists I wanted to see overlapped, so in that case I had no choice but to move in the middle😭😭😭🎸Personal Strategy🥁⭕️Wristband Exchange → It's always crowded, so it takes a lot of time to get there early! The person I wanted to see started at 11, so I tried to get to Kaihin Makuhari Station at 9:30! As expected, it took a long time to exchange the wristband, and I made it just in time for the 11:00 start👌⭕️Parks are a must. You can use a parasol in the entire arena and other areas except prohibited areas, so be sure to bring one! It's dangerous to wait in line without an umbrella⚠️⭕️Move before the last song endsUnless you really love the artist, you must act early! If you move after the last song ends, it will take 30 minutes just to leave the venue! So I recommend moving quickly to the next venue before it ends! ⭕️Shift your lunch timeI had lunch at the food corner in Makuhari Messe around 15:00! At lunchtime, you would have to line up for more than 30 minutes, but since I shifted the time, I was able to buy my lunch in about 10 minutes🎵Moreover, the Messe is indoors, so you can escape from the sun and it's comfortable! I recommend it because there are many types of restaurants! ⭕️The beach area is a photogenic spotThe beach area is a photogenic spot! If you go in the evening, the sky is beautiful and it looks great! ⭕️I recommend taking the shuttle bus to get to Makuhari Messe and ZOZO Marine StadiumIt is said that the shuttle bus is crowded, but it takes about 20 minutes to walk, and you have to walk outside, so it's dangerous to your life😅The bus has a high turnover rate, so you can get on surprisingly quickly even if you are in line, so I recommend taking the bus. ⭕️Not only do you need a large towel to wipe away sweat, but when watching at the arena, you also need to close your parasol, so a large towel is a good way to protect yourself from the sun! 😢Things to reflect on😢🎁I couldn't buy any goods. You can scan the goods with a QR code, and when you get a notification on LINE, you can enter the goods store. It took a while for my turn to come, and in the end I couldn't buy it because it overlapped with the time of the artist I wanted to see. 😭😭 I regret that I should have ordered it in advance. ❌When there's an artist I want to see, I get too close and can't see their face. When there's an artist I want to see, I get too close because I want to see them up close, but the areas on all sides are super crowded! In the crowd, you can't see their face through the gaps😢😢 Sometimes you can see them a little further away! ❌Sunburn prevention for the instep of the foot It's surprisingly easy to neglect sunburn prevention for the instep of the foot. I said beach sandals, so I got a lot of sunburn😂 Sneakers that cover the instep of the foot are the best. Above are the strategies and things to reflect on in bullet points! I hope this helps anyone who's going next year ⭕️ 📍Address: 1 Mihama, Mihama-ku, Chiba-shi, Chiba 261-0022 Ticket: 1 day 19,000 yen #summermemories #summersonic #summersonic #summerfestival
