LuckyFes '26 Confirms Extra JR Limited Express Trains from Ueno; Expands Access Buses from Major Stations and Ibaraki Airport

LuckyFM Ibaraki Broadcasting (Mito City, Ibaraki) has announced a significant expansion of transportation access for LuckyFes '26, which will be held over four days from August 8 to 11 at Hitachi Seaside Park.

The JR Joban Line, the primary access from the Tokyo metropolitan area, will see additional services for the 'Tokiwa' limited express (train numbers 41, 43, 45, 47, and 48) arriving at and departing from Ueno Station on August 8, 9, and 11. Frequent shuttle bus services will also operate between the nearest JR station, Katsuta, and the venue to minimize waiting times.

Furthermore, direct access bus tours will operate from major terminal stations including Tokyo, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Omiya, and Yokohama, as well as from Tsukuba Station and Ibaraki Airport. The Ibaraki Airport route is particularly convenient for visitors flying in from Kobe, Sapporo, Fukuoka, and Okinawa. These bus tours offer both round-trip and one-way options.

For those traveling by car, dedicated parking is available, though some types are already starting to sell out, making early reservation highly recommended.

The festival features a star-studded lineup including Nanase Aikawa, ATARASHII GAKKO!, BABYMETAL, NiziU, ME:I, and Ulfuls across the four days.

Full details and applications for the access bus tours are available on the official website.
