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.

Have you already made plans for Golden Week?

Many people will have a long holiday, and if you love music, why not try going to a festival?

The number of music festivals has continued to grow in recent years, and this year there are plenty taking place all over the country!

From large-scale events to local, community-based ones, Golden Week is packed with can’t-miss happenings!

Some festivals are designed to be easy to attend with children, so they’re also great options for family outings.

KOBE MELLOW CRUISETue 5/5 – Wed 5/6 Hyogo Prefecture

A new festival is being born in Kobe, a historic port city that has long shared diverse cultures with the world. From Meriken Park—where you can feel the pleasant sea breeze—the concept is to enjoy cruising through culture: music, art, fashion, delicious food, and more. It’s exciting to imagine what kinds of performances and experiences await. The venue is open-air, so with everyone’s cooperation to avoid crowding, it should be possible to enjoy the event safely. Why not refresh your mind by engaging all five senses?
