Ibaraki Festival Calendar [2026]: Music Festivals and Outdoor Events Summary

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?

This rock festival started in the spring of 2023 to energize the North Kanto area. It brings together must-see and supportive artists who fire up the crowd with their performances—an essential part of any music festival. It’s a new-style event that rotates its venue each year among Ibaraki, Tochigi, and Gunma prefectures, and we’re also focusing on the market aspect so it can become an event cherished by the local community. As with any great fest, you can indulge in popular local foods and take part in workshops—unique experiences you can only enjoy here.
