What this is
NUMBER SHOT is one of Fukuoka's biggest annual outdoor music festivals, held each summer at Seaside Momochi Beach — the same waterfront park that hosted events during the 2023 World Athletics Championships. The Nobosemon Stage is one of the festival's multiple stages, and these tickets are stage-exclusive, meaning you're buying access tied to that specific performance area rather than full festival grounds. Expect a mix of Japanese rock, pop, and indie acts across a long summer day with the sea breeze and Fukuoka Tower as your backdrop.
Who should go
J-pop and Japanese indie rock fans who want a proper outdoor festival experience in Kyushu. Works well for solo travellers and groups comfortable navigating a Japanese-language festival environment.
Good to know
Tickets for NUMBER SHOT are typically sold via eplus.jp and Lawson Ticket — both platforms accept foreign credit cards, and Lawson convenience store pickup is the most practical option for visitors without a Japanese address. Note that these are Nobosemon Stage exclusive tickets, which may restrict your movement to a specific zone; confirm zone access rules on the official NUMBER SHOT website before purchasing. Seaside Momochi Beach is an open outdoor venue with no fixed seating for festival stages — standing on sand and grass is standard. Bring cash for food and merchandise stalls, as many vendors at Japanese outdoor festivals do not accept cards. Given Fukuoka's August humidity, hydration stations and cooling areas are usually provided, but queues can be long — arriving at doors open is strongly advised.
