List of Hot Spring Festivals Nationwide [2026]

Set in Iwamuro, a hot spring area in Niigata Prefecture, this music event invites everyone to share what they love and enjoy, and to express it freely. Aiming to share the joy of spending time in the countryside, we bring out each person’s unique color, freely paint the space called Iwamuro, and share that time together by creating the event as one. Why not shift from spending your days just going into town to shop and coming home tired, to a way of living where you create your own enjoyment right in the town you call home?

This is a jazz festival held in the hot spring town of Matsunoyama in Niigata Prefecture. You can enjoy live jazz performances at venues set up around the town. After the event, why not soak in the hot springs to unwind before heading home? It might just make for a perfect day.
