JGSDF Higashi-Chitose Camp (陸上自衛隊東千歳駐屯地)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is a summer festival beloved by the local community, held every year at the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Higashi-Chitose Camp (陸上自衛隊東千歳駐屯地). On Wednesday, July 22, 2026, it opens to the public from 5 p.m., and you can walk around the venue lined with food stalls and event booths. Having the chance to walk through camp grounds normally off-limits is a valuable experience for adults and children alike. As night deepens, the festival mood builds, and the finale brings fireworks lighting up the night sky. It's a warm seasonal summer tradition where the community and the Self-Defense Forces come together.
