Ridesharing involves sharing a car to travel to and from a venue. By ridesharing, you can split the cost of a rental car, gasoline, and tolls, often at a discount. Plus, it can be a fun experience during the trip.
During Meetup event during the year, you can organize ridesharing, and matches are also made through our online bulletin board on Discord.
Burning Japan management does not get involved in the ridesharing arrangements. Each individual is responsible for managing their own expenses, payments, and ensuring the safety of both drivers and passengers.

Theme Camp
A Theme Camp is a camp managed by a community, each offering unique entertainment or art projects.
Members who join a Theme Camp receive special privileges not available to regular camps, such as sound systems & generator usage, larger spaces, and early entry for setup and production.
Sound Camp
Among theme camps, a camp that uses amplifiers to produce loud sound is called a Sound Camp.
Specific Restrictions are enforced regarding venue location, speaker orientation, volume, and permitted hours for sound production.
To ensure sound compliance, each Sound Camp appoints one member to serve on a mitigation team.
Having a designated responsible person is required for entry as a Sound Camp.
Phoenix Burn
The Phoenix Burn is an event in which a wood phoenix is burned on the penultimate night of the event.
The ceremony usually begins around 7:00 p.m..
Fire Performance
Fire Performance is a performance by selected members during the Phoenix Burn.
Selection is based on workshops and real experience during the event.
A joint meeting is usually held at noon on the day of the Phoenix Burn to prepare for the ceremony.
Open Camp
General camping areas that are not art or theme camps are called Open Camping areas.
Art Grant
Grants for artistic activities are exclusively designated for art projects as of 2024 and do not apply to theme camps. However, theme camps receive other forms of support such as generators, gasoline, and designated parking areas.
It is mandated that a minimum of 5% of Burning Japan's total ticket sales be allocated to the Art Grant budget.

In 2022, grants amounted to 150,000 JPY, increasing to 227,000 JPY in 2023.
MOOP
MOOP refers to any material or debris that is not native to the environment and is considered litter or trash.
Combustion aid used in Phoenix Burn and Temple Burn. Kerosene (kerosene) and toilet roll are combined to form "keroll".
The ratio is 36 rolls for 18 liters of kerosene.
One roll burns for 15 to 20 minutes.

Kerosene rolls burn with a green flame.
Mixing fuel alcohol and boric acid to make keroll produces a green flame.
