DEJIMA Expo is a Golden Week event held annually by Nagasaki International Television to promote regional exchange and regional revitalization, and in 2016 it was certified as the first project of the Nagasaki City Revitalization Project. The venue is Water and Greenery Park facing Nagasaki Port, where visitors can enjoy sea breezes as a variety of stages and vendor booths spread out. In addition to live music, its hallmark is a lineup that people of all ages can enjoy, including a gourmet festival and activities for children. It will be held in May 2026.

The Hateruma Island Music Festival is a remote-island fest that began in 1997, launched by singer and island native Isamu Kajiiku and volunteers from the local alumni association to revitalize the island. The venue is an open-air stage on Hateruma Island, which floats north of Iriomote Island and has only a few dozen residents, offering a stunning location overlooking an emerald-green sea. With the theme “Let it reach you! Big energy from a small island,” island songs, sanshin, and pop music resound as locals and visitors come together in rhythm and applause. It will be held in May 2026 during the Golden Week holiday.
