West Japan Jazz Festivals [2026] JAZZ Street List

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.

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.
