Harunone is a spring festival from Osaka where music, pop and subculture, food, and craft and art intersect. The venue is the Osaka-jo Ongakudo, an open-air music hall nestled in Osaka Castle Park, where an open, expansive stage unfolds in the season of fresh greenery. Revived in 2024, it serves as a place to express, to encounter expression, and to learn about expression for people of all generations and values. It will be held during Golden Week in May 2026, when a diverse range of genres resonate together.

Takatsuki Jazz StreetMay 3 (Sun)–4 (Mon), Osaka Prefecture

This is a handmade music event planned and run by citizen volunteers, launched in 1999 with the idea of “making Takatsuki a fun city filled with music.” Around 60 venues near Hankyu Takatsuki-shi Station and JR Takatsuki Station are opened with free admission, and a wide variety of bands—centered on jazz but crossing genres—fill the city with sound. Supported by an executive committee spanning generations from students to shop owners, it will be held over two days during Golden Week in May 2026.
