Travel
On Arrival
At the Entry Point into the venue, you'll be asked to sign a Personal Liability form: reminding you to take care of yourself and not do anything daft! We'll also be asking you to wear an event bracelet around your wrist. This saves our security staff asking you to show your ticket every 5 minutes! Should you not be wearing your event bracelet, then please be prepared to be asked a million times to prove your ticket payment!! Obviously, if you have no proof of payment then you'll be asked to leave the premises. Thank you for your co-operation.
Getting there
The San In Beach Party is at Kozomi Beach near Tottori-shi in Tottori prefecture. Kozomi Beach is approximately 10km west of Tottori-shi, along the main road in Tottori-ken (Route 9). For those not arriving by their own vehicle and using public transport, then please head for Hogi Station (the 4th train stop west of Tottori-shi / or the 4th stop before Tottori Station if coming from the opposite direction).
You can get to the party by bus, train, or car. If traveling by bus or train, there will be a shuttle bus from Hogi train station

Hogi Pick-up / Drop-off Times
The journey from Hogi to Kozomi takes about 10 minutes. We arrange pick-up/ drop-off times to coincide with trains arriving to / departing from Hogi going in both directions. Please be sure to coincide your arrival/departure at Hogi with a pick-up/drop-off time printed below. A one way journey costs 100 yen per person. Please pay the driver as you board the vehicle.
Guests wishing to return to Hogi Station should assemble near the ticket inspection area 10 minutes before the bus is due to leave Kozomi. A departure timetable can be found at the ticket inspection area.
Guests who have a room booked should tell the driver on pick-up which hotel they are staying in. Once the guests have had their tickets checked and have received their event bracelet, a member of staff will escort the guests to their room.

Once you exit the first tunnel on this road called Hakuto Tunnel, then immediately down on the right hand side is the PARTY! 50 metres beyond the tunnel exit is the turning for the car park. The turning is directly opposite a gasoline station. If you go through the Mizushiri Tunnel, then you've gone too far!
If the venue car park is full then you'll be asked to park at our secondary car park. This car park is located about 1km back towards Tottori City (you will have already passed it on the way to the venue). Heading back towards the airport drive until you pass the Sunset Cafe on your left. About 50 metres after this cafe on our left is our secondary car park. Please park here and take our free shuttle bus to the venue.

Once out of the Mizushiri Tunnel, you will pass a small gasoline station on the left and soon after, a larger Idemitsu gasoline station on the right. Directly opposite the second gasoline station on the left is the entrance to the PARTY car park. If you go through the Hakuto Tunnel, then you've gone too far!
