The Fuji Rock Festival is set on a ski resort on Mt Fuji in Japan in what has got to be one of the most ideal settings for a music festival - it takes place in a thicket of lush forests, streams, and hills.

Festival goers can watch music on 7 different stages, and the largest can accomodate 30,000 people. They can also take the gondola (renamed the 'Dragondola' for extra special local flavor) to the top of the mountain to hang out in the Day Dreaming & Silent Breeze area for a break and some great vantage points to the surrounding mountains.
