Complete Guide to Spring Festivals in the Kanto Region! Introducing Featured Artists and Venue Information [2026]

ALA Open Air is an outdoor techno festival launched by DJ/Composer NUTMEG. About 90 minutes from central Tokyo, it takes place for roughly 20 hours in a mountain-surrounded location in Mutsuzawa, Chosei District, Chiba, centered on deep, trancy techno. The indoor area will feature ambient and spatial sounds throughout the night, with artists such as DJ MIKU and DJ Yogurt performing. Scheduled for April 2026.

This music festival began in 2005 as part of the Japan-Korea Friendship Year commemorative projects and has since been held every spring around Kawasaki Station. Making the most of Kawasaki’s unique character as a place where cultures from across Asia coexist, it features two days of folk music and dance, as well as live concerts by musicians based in Kawasaki. Visitors can get up close to music and instruments they rarely encounter, and the Asian Festa—where foods from various countries can be enjoyed—is held at the same time. The 2026 edition will take place in April.
