[2026] Special Feature on Music Festivals & Outdoor Events in the Chugoku and Shikoku Regions

Kyū-Uchiyamashita Elementary School: This is an event held using a former elementary school that has been closed. In the familiar setting of an elementary school where everyone spent their childhood, it’s a festival offering a variety of experiences—from music to food and workshops.

Endless Summer Fest—nicknamed “Ensama”—is an open-air music festival held at the foot of the Shimanami Kaido in Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture. With the tagline “An outdoor fest created by everyone, where everyone’s the star!”, over 100 musicians from inside and outside the prefecture deliver blazing performances across two stages: the Main Stage and the SKY Stage. Two full days drenched in music are guaranteed to get you pumped! Play! Laugh! Dance! Sing! Let’s all have fun together!
