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.

Kyoto Prefecture is home not only to universities with long traditions but also to many newer institutions, and the campus festivals held at each offer a rich variety.

Visitors will never be bored, with food stalls to enjoy, stage performances to get excited about, and opportunities to experience research presentations and exhibitions.

Many of these festivals are open to the general public, making it easy for anyone to join—that’s another great point.

This article clearly summarizes the schedules of campus festivals held at universities across Kyoto Prefecture.

Be sure to check it out when planning your visit.
