With the coming events such as Waku Waku School of Arashi, Kanjani’s Entertainment Jam, V6 LIVE TOUR and so on, fans are preparing now for the hotel booking, dressing, itinerary arrangement and so on. If this is your first time participating these events, you will be shocked by the amount people (mainly girls) anxiously holding signs asking for a ticket paving your way as you’re entering the venue. The aftermath of the show can be, even more overwhelming, to say the least, as you ride the waves of people onto a train and back home.

This will also be announced by the station staff that you should purchase the return ticket in advance before the event starts. The reason is that there will be crowds of people waiting for ticket-purchasing in front of the ticket machine after the event ends.

We introduce here the access to several major venues for those events.
