West Japan Jazz Festivals [2026] JAZZ Street List

Music festivals dedicated to jazz are held all across Japan.

In addition to being called jazz festivals, events that turn an entire town into the venue are also known as “Jazz Street,” and they’re loved by music fans of all ages.

In this article, we’ll introduce a comprehensive list of jazz festivals and Jazz Street events taking place in the Kansai region.

From large-scale jazz festivals spanning multiple days to small neighborhood Jazz Street events, we’ve got a wide range covered—so if something catches your eye, be sure to go check it out in person.

Past events

Kobe Jazz StreetSat 10/11–Sun 10/12, Hyogo Prefecture

Kobe Jazz Street is a jazz festival with an uncompromising passion for jazz. In Kobe, they are committed to preserving traditional, orthodox jazz, so they recruit performers with a focus on traditional jazz and, rather than solos, on ensembles. Every year, jazz musicians from Japan and abroad—both professionals and amateurs—gather to take part.
