Practical Info | Shiroyama Concerts

Shiroyama Concert Venue

About a 10-minute walk from Ogi Port, Shiroyama Park is home to EC's outdoor concerts every year. The path leading up from Kisaki Shrine opens into a lush natural amphitheatre where you can sit on the grass and enjoy the show.

Entrance Order Colour Cards

All seating in Shiroyama Park is general-admission, outdoor seating on the lawn. In order to make things smoother for everyone at the concert entrance, Entrance Order Colour Cards are distributed prior to each concert, and card-holders are admitted to the venue according to the colour on their card.

The Walk Up to Shiroyama Park

The path leading up to Shiroyama Park is extremely steep. Please wear sneakers or other comfortable shoes when making the trip up the hill. For anyone who requires physical assistance entering the venue, a special shuttle is available. Please register ahead of time by calling the EC Committee before Aug 19, or register at the EC Info Centre during the festival. *Please be sure to confirm the departure time of this shuttle as it is earlier than the venue opening time for the general public.

Seating

Shiroyama Park offers only free seating directly on the park's lawn. The lawn can get damp from dew or rain so we recommend bringing a ground cloth or plastic sheet to sit on.

Consuming Alcoholic Beverages in Shiroyama Park

Inside Shiroyama Park, beer and snacks are available at the refreshment tent. The Shiroyama Concerts are a place to relax and have fun, which for many people includes picnicking on the lawn, but please help us keep the atmosphere in the venue enjoyable for everyone. Bringing your own food and drinks into the concert venue is allowed, but we ask for your utmost cooperation in adhering to the following guidelines:

• Please do not bring ANY glass containers into the park. This includes bottled beverages and/or glass cups, etc.
• Please eat and drink only in the seating area, and refrain from walking around the venue with open containers or drinking in the dance area.
• You and your group may be asked to leave the venue if excessive drinking creates a disturbance to other audience members around you.

Dealing with Trash at EC

Both in Shiroyama Park and at other festival venues at EC, the number of trash cans is limited. As much as possible we ask you to please leave each venue with all of the trash you brought with you. When using the trans cans inside the venues, please check for separation of burnables, non-burnables and recyclables and make sure to put your trash in the right container!

Sado Island has been promoting the “Reduce Event Waste Project” since 2008 and Earth Celebration is one of its role-model events. Our “EC+O Project” (eco project) has formed alliances with various environmental groups, and together we continue our effort to reduce, recycle and reuse.

EC Information Tent

There is an EC Information tent at the rear of the concert venue. Please check here if you lose something in the Shiroyama Concert venue.

Please note that we don't handle valuables: all valuables (wallets, purses, etc.) should be taken to the police station just down the road.

Rest Rooms

Rest rooms are located at the top of the hill as you enter the concert venue. A wheelchair-friendly facility is also available.

First-Aid Tent

There is a first-aid tent at the rear of the concert venue. Please inform EC Staff if you or someone else in the venue requires medical attention.
