The EC Charter Bus provides transportation directly from Tokyo or Osaka to Earth Celebration. The bus leaves the city at night and arrives in Ogi the following morning, so you can enjoy the festival from the very beginning. This package offers considerable savings of both time and money. This year there is a return bus service departing from Ogi Port at 23:10 on the last ferry after the Shiroyama Concert on Aug. 19 (Sun).
*Reservations for EC Charter buses to/from Osaka are still being accepted. (Updated Aug. 8, 2012)
