Types of Support Ads Available in the Fukui Area
When placing a support ad in Fukui, there are four main types of media to choose from:
- Digital Signage: Such as the Happiring Vision at Fukui Station's west exit or in-facility signage. Both video and still images can be displayed, offering high visibility and the ability to be posted in as little as one week.
- Outdoor Visions and Large Screens: Large screens installed in front of the station or on the exterior walls of commercial facilities. Displaying ads around concert dates can be highly effective.
- In-station Posters and Digital Panels: Including JR Fukui Station and digital panels in front of the Happiline Fukui Fukui Station ticket gates. Ads can be placed in high-traffic areas where out-of-town fans are sure to pass.
- Ad Trucks: Mobile advertising vehicles that travel within Fukui City and Echizen City. By circulating around the venue on the day of a concert, they can reach a large number of fans.
Main Display Locations in Fukui
Fukui Station and Happiring Vision
JR Fukui Station saw the Hokuriku Shinkansen line extended between Kanazawa and Tsuruga on March 16, 2024, significantly improving direct access from Tokyo. It is the gateway where out-of-town fans always arrive, and the Happiring Vision, installed on the exterior wall of the Happiring complex at the west exit, is a highly visible large-scale digital sign. It is positioned to be seen by concert-goers the moment they exit the ticket gates.
AOSSA
A commercial complex directly connected to Fukui Station. It has digital signage media within the facility, which can appeal to shoppers and out-of-town fans. Ads are guaranteed to be displayed indoors even in rainy weather.
Sun Dome Fukui
A large concert arena located in Echizen City (formerly Takefu City). It boasts a maximum capacity of approximately 10,000 people, making it one of the largest on the Sea of Japan side, and has hosted performances by major artists. Shuttle buses operate from JR Takefu Station (adjacent to Hokuriku Shinkansen Echizen-Takefu Station). On concert days, attendees converge in one place, so ad trucks and signage around the venue are highly effective.
Harmony Hall Fukui
A hall located in Fukui City. It hosts concerts across a wide range of genres, from classical to pop. This area is also suitable for support ads for medium-sized performances.
Awara Onsen / Echizen Onsen Area
Hot spring areas frequently used by out-of-town fans visiting Fukui for accommodation. With the new Awara Onsen Station on the Hokuriku Shinkansen line, advertising along tourist routes can also be considered.

Benefits of Placing Support Ads in Fukui
Fukui, where there are still fewer examples of support ads compared to the Tokyo metropolitan area or Osaka, conversely has the advantage of making fan activities more noticeable.
- Increase in out-of-town fans with the Shinkansen extension: Since the extension opened in March 2024, there has been an increase in out-of-town fans from Tokyo and the metropolitan area. Support ads around Fukui Station are now seen by more people than before.
- Sun Dome Fukui has a large capacity: Support ads at a venue gathering up to approximately 10,000 people can reach many fans at once.
- Greater impact due to less competition: In Tokyo and Osaka, many support ads are placed, but in Fukui, they are rare, making your message to your favorite artist stand out.
- Easy to combine with tourism, such as the Dinosaur Museum and Awara Onsen: Ads can be placed in areas where out-of-town fans stop during their sightseeing.
Application Process
- Determine purpose and budget: Clarify the timing and purpose of the display, such as birthdays, live performance dates, or debut anniversaries.
- Select media and display location: Choose media such as digital signage or outdoor visions according to your budget.
- Prepare creatives: For signage, specified sizes of still images or video data are required.
- Application, submission, and payment: Submission is often required 1 to 4 weeks before the display date, so proceed with ample time.
- Confirm display: Confirm on-site during the display period or keep a photographic record.
How to Place a Support Ad
How to Determine Purpose and Budget
First, organize "who," "when," and "for what purpose" you want to place the ad. The optimal display timing and location will vary depending on the purpose, such as celebrating a birthday, a "birth festival," or generating excitement for a live performance trip. For individuals, a budget of around 30,000 to 100,000 yen is common. If fans utilize crowdfunding, it's possible to place ads on larger media.
How to Choose Media
If your budget is limited, choose digital signage (from approx. 30,000 yen). If you want many people to see it on the day of the live performance, choose ad trucks or signage around the venue. If you want a long-term display, choose digital panels in the station.
Application Procedure
The application channels vary depending on the media. While direct inquiry to the media company is often necessary for large outdoor visions, for digital signage, individuals can easily apply using a mediation platform like Oshi-Ad.
