Music Festival Master / Editor-in-ChiefHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC and in charge of music festivals. When I attended my first music festival as a freshman in college, I was captivated by its charm—“I can’t believe there’s a place this free and this fun.” I share information about wonderful music festivals every day to help grow the community of festival fans.

While calls for regional revitalization are echoing across the country, this time we’ve compiled information on locally rooted festivals.

Many of these events let you enjoy specialty products and local foods from each area, so they’re great not only for residents but also for those coming from afar—perfect to drop by while sightseeing.

AWAJIN Fes.Mon, Nov 3 – Hyogo Prefecture

Born from a desire to share the power of music and new culture and arts from Awaji Island with the world, AWAJIN Fes was created to drive growth. While most music festivals so far have mainly featured artists from outside the island, this festival centers on performers from Awaji Island. You can enjoy traditional, locally rooted music, as well as stages by students who live on the island—an event that passes music on to a new generation. Keep an eye on the music born from Awaji Island’s unique sensibilities. Surrounded by abundant nature, you’ll likely feel your mind and body revitalized by the energy of the music nurtured on this island.
