List of Jazz Festivals in the Kanto Region [2026]

Iruma City’s jazz fest, the Green Tea JAZZ Festival. It’s an event named after Iruma’s specialty product: tea. While it features popular artists who also perform at major festivals, it also hosts a Student Jam by local students.

A handcrafted jazz festival, the Yokohama Asahi Jazz Festival. Since its inception, it has featured two stages—a professional stage and an amateur stage—making it an event that anyone can participate in. Going to listen is great, but if you’re a jazz musician, why not apply to perform?

The Sagami-Ono Monje Festival was named after the French word “Mangez,” meaning “to eat.” It’s a cut above ordinary food stalls, as renowned local restaurants from Sagami-Ono come together to showcase their culinary pride and let visitors savor the flavors of exceptional establishments. The main stage—planned and run by these restaurants—also features programs by professional musicians that anyone can enjoy for free, making it a highly entertaining event.
