Fukushima Prefecture

Oto-yo(i) WalkSat, Apr 11 – Fukushima Prefecture

This event was launched to reinvigorate Fukushima after the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear accident led to a sharp decline due to harmful rumors. Held in a hot spring resort town, it’s an event you can fully enjoy—not only music, but also hot springs, food, and sightseeing. And since it takes place in a hot spring area, accommodation plans are available as well, so why not enjoy all that Iizaka Onsen has to offer?

Yamasan SoundsSunday, 5/24, Fukushima Prefecture

An admission-free outdoor concert will be held at a winery in Fukushima Prefecture. From a stage overlooking the vineyards, you can enjoy acoustic tunes and upbeat band performances while savoring wines produced at the venue’s winery, locally popular craft beers, and even wood-fired pizzas that kids will love. The venue is close enough to the station for a short taxi ride, so you can enjoy drinks without worry. Why not relax with a glass of wine in hand and enjoy a laid-back time?

It’s held with the hope of sharing the beauty of Toyama Bay, its delicious fish and food culture, and bringing music to even more people. The concept is “a festival created by everyone, overflowing with smiles.”

Fukui Prefecture

GREEN FLASH FesSat, 5/30, Fukui Prefecture

GREEN FLASH Fes is held at a resort facility in Fukui Prefecture, set against the backdrop of the sea. A “green flash” is the moment when a green light appears as the sun sinks into the ocean, and legend has it that seeing it brings good luck. With your favorite music as the soundtrack, it’s an event where participants can spend their time freely—lying on the grass while gazing at the vast sky and ocean, or enjoying delicious food. There’s also a fully equipped campground nearby, so how about adding it to your travel plans?
