Often described as the most picturesque music festival in the world, Fuji rock has been bringing copious amounts of western rock music (as well as doing extraordinary work to showcase the nations best home-grown talent) to Japan since 1997. Originally, the festival was held at the base of the famous Mt. Fuji (hence the name), however the event has since been relocated to a ski resort some 187 miles north of Fuji. Retaining its original name in spite of the move, Fuji Rock features around seven main music stages and in recent years has treated attendees to the likes of Radiohead, The Stone Roses and Jack White. The largest event of its kind in Japan, this year's Fuji Rock Festival is scheduled to take place from July 25th to July 27th.
