Inside track: The electronica dance event for Japan. Beautiful countryside and onsen galore in a place where you're never far from a view of Mount Fuji. Have faith in the guys that organize this party, they will provide you with world-class, underground electronic music. Techno, drum 'n' bass and house are all represented, as is jazz and post-rock. Trance will be nowhere to be seen.
Crowd: No punks, no rockers. Generally weekenders.
