What to Pack &
What to Wear

GRVF has a vibrant festival fashion scene. The campsite is as much a part of the experience as the stages. Think city-pop aesthetic meets coastal Japan — loose linen, platform sandals, vintage accessories, and of course, the GRVF wristband.

👒 Daytime
Light breathable fabrics. Sun hat essential. Comfortable sandals or bare feet at Beach Stage.
🌙 Evening
Light jacket for after 22:00. Comfortable shoes. Bring a small backpack with essentials.
🌧 Rain Ready
Pack a lightweight rain poncho. Japan in August can have sudden showers. Quick-dry fabrics.
🎒 Accessories
Fanny pack, reusable bottle, portable charger. Leave valuables in secure storage.
Every Night

Campfire Sessions

Each night, after the main stages close, the campsite comes alive with spontaneous acoustic music. Designated campfire zones in Zone B host informal sessions where anyone can play, sing, or simply listen.

Many of GRVF's favourite memories are born here — artists jamming with fans, new friendships formed around the fire, songs drifting across the Shonan night air. Bring your instrument if you play.

🔥 Campfire Zone B: Designated fire pits · Open 23:00 – 02:00
🎸 Acoustic instruments welcome · Amplifiers not permitted after 02:00
📍 Campfire zone marked on festival map · Fire marshal on duty
