Hit by a severe typhoon, it is no understatement to say that ULTRA JAPAN 2017 took place across a three-day period of dramatic weather conditions. There are always challenges to overcome at an event of this magnitude, but the unparalleled efforts of the staff, including the likes of Kenji Kohashi (ULTRA JAPAN creative director), help ensure that things run smoothly and keep on improving. Even the individuals based on the reception desks were smiling and encouraging everybody with their consideration. They displayed deep care by expressing their gratitude for everyone's hard work across three days of intense weather conditions. And you cannot forget the crew who worked so earnestly and diligently in their attempts to ensure that everything went smoothly. Thinking about this year's concept and theme "ULTRA JAPAN = DJ / Dance music event," has got us super excited about how things will evolve when the festival returns to Japan for the fifth time!
