On 14 – 16 of October X Japan held a biggest Visual-kei musical festival in Makuhari Messe, Chiba, Japan. Being the pioneer in this genre they hosted a festival that attended by several famous visual-kei band that used to or still performed with visual-kei. The line up band are so breath taking, several biggest name are already confirmed and they rest are pilling-up. It was a festival that has to attend if you are fans. This festival is held in three days, and everyday X Japan is performed.
The announcement of this event is shows on July. And they announced the ticket
Will be sell in several parts. The presale ticket will be exclusively sell to a fans club of each 3 biggest band, which is X Japan, Lunasea, And Glay. And after that the general ticket will be sale at 29 of august.
I and my friend are part of X Japan-ID It is unofficial group of X Japan fans in Indonesia. After hearing this event we are so excited and start to plan our journey. First of all thing you have to do is, make sure you got the ticket for the event. Some events are sale ticket for Japan people only. Luckily this event is held by RAKUTEN, and it’s very friendly for buyer outside Japan. You can buy the ticket at RAKUTEN using credit card, and after that they will sent you a confirmation email that you have to print and bring it to the venue. But the tickets are being sold out very fast. One of my friends hasn’t got the ticket, so he looks in another web that also sale tickets, with higher price off course. There are several ticket webs that are trustable, but you have to be careful to choose which one of it. They provide address in Japan to send your ticket, so contact your friend in Japan, and ask their permission and help. Overall it is much more convenient if you can purchase ticket from the ticket master that the event chose and it cheaper also. So make sure you don’t outnumber it.
After we secure the ticket to a festival, next we have to find the airplane ticket. If you really spent you time searching, comparing an d finding the best price, you will get a very affordable yet comfort plane ticket. And sometimes there are promo from each airline that really nice. So I got return ticket to Japan for only 3.689.000 rupiah using MAS, with transit in Malaysia for 3 hours and arrive at the same day. There is lots of promo with special price to Japan using several airlines especially on October, so choose wisely.
Next we have to find a place to stay. Because there are four of us, so we think it is more convenience and cheaper using Air BnB. First thing you have to set in your mind when finding the right place is the location. Since our destination is in Chiba, a little outside Tokyo, so we choose a place in Ooyama, which is in the middle of Tokyo and Chiba. Next find a place that near MRT station, our place only need 5- 10 minute to the station. Why the time distance is wide? Because the alley from our place to the station is packed with stall restaurant, supermarket, shop, convenient store, really you name it, they got it, and it is so hard to resist. Next find a place that can afford four of us, the place we choose can afford until 7 people, so it quit spacious. It also provide with kitchen, refrigerator, microwave, cooking utensils, and washing machine, perfect.

So, ticket concert, airplane ticket and place to stay already set, next, spent your time to make and itinerary, so you won’t wasting any single time, and can enjoy every moment in Japan.
After all we really enjoy our moment at the festival and when we travel around Tokyo. Such a tremendous place to be, makes you feel want to come back again and again. I don’t know, even though this my second time to Japan, I still think there is a lot of place to explore. I will be back, again and again and again.
So, until next time, have fun, and enjoy every moment in your life.
