COUNTDOWN JAPAN 25/26 is a large-scale indoor New Year’s music festival in Japan, organized by Rockin'On Japan and parties related to Makuhari Messe. It takes place at the Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Halls and Event Hall in Mihama-ku, Chiba City. The website countdownjapan.jp serves as the official information portal for the event, publishing announcements, venue information, and follow-up special programming related to the five-day schedule from December 27 to 31, 2025.
The site offers sections including ARTIST, TICKET, TIMETABLE, ACCESS, GOODS, FOOD, BUS TOUR, AREA MAP, NOTICE, FAQ, and ABOUT, covering the main needs of attendees from before ticket purchase through the day of entry. The main content states that this edition will be held over five days for the first time, with the Moon Stage returning to create a four-stage setup. A total of 179 artists will perform, highlighting the diversity of Japan’s live music scene across J-Rock, J-Pop, Hip-Hop, internet music, and more. The site also provides news, a producer’s MESSAGE, photo galleries, retrospectives of past events, as well as tie-ins with YouTube special programs and Instagram topics.
The captured text only shows a TICKET entry point and does not disclose specific ticket prices, lottery methods, service fees, or payment options. Therefore, ticket costs need to be verified through the official ticket page or related ticketing platforms. As this is a major Japanese music festival, users should also factor in additional expenses such as flights to Japan, accommodation, transportation, and merchandise or on-site spending.
The advantages are its clear information structure, strong event scale and brand influence, and indoor venue setup, which reduces the impact of winter weather. The organizers also provide clear guidance on crowd flow, entry restrictions, and safety rules. The drawbacks are that the pages are primarily in Japanese, creating a higher reading and ticket-purchasing barrier for overseas users; the captured content does not directly provide ticket prices; and external content such as Instagram and YouTube may be difficult to access from mainland China.
It is suitable for fans interested in Japanese rock, pop, idols, rap, and internet music. It is also useful for travelers planning to spend New Year’s in Japan, music media, and observers of the live entertainment industry. If you only want to watch special programs remotely, you should follow the official YouTube channel or Jフェス channel schedule.
The main site itself is generally not the type of website at high risk of being blocked, but its embedded or linked YouTube and Instagram content cannot be accessed reliably from mainland China. Overall, it can be considered “partially restricted.” Users traveling to Japan for the event should also confirm in advance whether the ticketing platform supports overseas phone numbers, credit cards, and identity verification.
