Yuinote isn’t held in live houses or halls; instead, the venues are historic buildings in Yūki City, which was once a castle town. The performances in these deeply atmospheric, quintessentially Japanese settings are a must-see. Along with the music, why not also experience the history and culture of Yūki City?

As a new festival organized by Ibaraki Broadcasting, the LuckyFM Green Festival has been held since 2022. Following the relocation of the ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL, the event has adopted the motto “Don’t let the flame of Ibaraki’s festival culture go out,” and has been reimagined with a new concept as a celebration of music, food, and art at its venue, Hitachi Seaside Park. Featuring local ingredients and a wide range of art and music genres, it’s also recommended as a family-friendly event. It’s sure to become one of your favorite summer memories!
