Spring Music Festival in Eastern Japan [2026]

NAON no BUNTAI is a women-only music festival hosted by the rock band SHOW-YA. Carrying on the legacy of NAON no YAON, which has been held at Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall since 2013, it showcases distinctive stages that transcend generations and genres. In 2026, the venue moves to the newly renovated Yokohama BUNTAI, opening with indoor acoustics and production. The late-April holiday will be electrified with the heat of women’s rock.

The AOMORI Spring Festival is a spring celebration held in the central shopping streets of Aomori City. Centered around Shinmachi-dori and Honcho-dori, the city is enlivened with music and dance, including the operation of large Nebuta floats, Haneto dancers, Yosakoi performances, an opening parade by the Aomori Yamada High School marching band, and Nebuta HIP HOP. In 2026, the festival marks its 19th edition, featuring a special parade commemorating the 400th anniversary of Aomori’s city development, as well as a Tokyo Disney Resort Special Parade. The festival takes place in April.
