Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC and in charge of music festivals. When I attended my first music festival as a freshman in college, I was captivated by its charm—“I can’t believe there’s a place this free and this fun.” I share information about wonderful music festivals every day to help grow the community of festival fans.

In the Koshinetsu and Hokuriku regions, where majestic mountains and refreshing spring breezes welcome you, the long-awaited spring festival season is beginning.

Enjoy a luxurious moment wrapped in soothing music at open-air venues where cherry blossoms are in bloom.

From passionate performances by local artists to popular bands active nationwide, a wide variety of stages will unfold.

In this article, we’ll introduce spring festivals you won’t want to miss.
