Editor-in-Chief, RAG MUSICHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

From Kobe’s urban center to the suburbs, Hyogo Prefecture is home to numerous universities, each hosting its own distinctive campus festival in spring and autumn.

The true charm of these festivals lies in the variety of experiences each campus offers—enjoying gourmet foods at food stalls, getting excited by stage events, and exploring student-run exhibitions and hands-on activities.

This article compiles the schedules of university festivals held across Hyogo Prefecture.
