Ultra Japan
The go-to EDM pick in Japan — central Tokyo waterfront, globally standardised Ultra production and DJ lineup, easy to slot into a Tokyo city trip.
About
Ultra Japan is the Japanese chapter of the global Ultra dance-music brand, held over two days each mid-September at the Odaiba Ultra Park on Tokyo's central waterfront. It delivers the globally standardised Ultra production and a top-billing international DJ lineup, in a location that slots effortlessly into a Tokyo city trip. For dance-music travellers it is the easiest big EDM event to attend in Japan.

How foreigners buy tickets
- It's tourist-friendly and English-facing. Ultra Japan sells through its official English-language site (with e+ as a channel), so you generally don't hit the Japanese-phone wall that domestic-only festivals impose.
- It's a first-come sale. Tickets are released in tiers (early-bird cheapest); it's a straight first-come purchase, not a lottery.
- Foreign cards are accepted. International Visa/Mastercard work; keep a backup card for peak on-sale minutes.
- Delivery is an e-ticket. You receive a QR/e-ticket and exchange it on site for an RFID wristband used for cashless payment.
- If it sells out. Use only official or reputable resale — avoid private transfers.
Getting there & staying
Route: Odaiba is on the Rinkai Line (Tokyo Teleport) and the Yurikamome (Daiba) — ~20–30 min from central Tokyo.
⚠️ Last train: the Yurikamome and Rinkai Line stop around midnight; check the last departure before the closing set.
Staying: no camping — book a Tokyo hotel anywhere on the Rinkai/Yurikamome or a central JR line and commute. Odaiba hotels are convenient but pricier on the festival weekend.
