Note
“Reserved” means every ticket has a seat number (全席指定). “Unreserved” means you sit anywhere (全席自由). The price column shows the main adult price or prices, and each venue section below lists the other ticket types. The official pages we checked are in Japanese. The 16:30 start for My Little Lover is the time on the ticket seller’s page (eplus). The artist’s page and the hall’s own site do not give a time.
2. How do the six venues compare for parking and getting there?
Depends on the venue: each venue sets its own parking rules
Watanabe Memorial Hall (138 spaces) and YCAM (161 spaces) have free parking, while Shimonoseki Civic Hall has only 45 paid spaces. Shunan City Cultural Hall is about a 20-minute walk from Tokuyama Station, and YCAM is about 25 minutes on foot from Yuda-Onsen Station. For those two, decide first whether you will go by car, taxi or bus.
| Venue | City | From the station | Parking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shunan Cultural Hall | Shunan | About 20 min on foot from JR Tokuyama Station; taxi about 5 min | 160 spaces; temporary lot next to the art museum when full |
| Shimonoseki Civic Hall | Shimonoseki | 7 min on foot from JR Shimonoseki Station | 45 spaces, ¥100 per 30 min (¥1,520 cap per parking) |

KDDI Ishin Hall in Yamaguchi City is not listed as a venue because its official November calendar shows only one event, a free, application-only children’s job-experience fair for elementary school pupils in the prefecture on November 28. It has no concert or stage show that month (official November calendar).
