List of summer festivals in western Japan held during the summer vacation [2026]: Rock festivals and outdoor music festivals

The Amanohashidate Jazz Festival is a celebration of jazz organized by an executive committee of volunteer music enthusiasts in Miyazu City, Kyoto Prefecture, and 2026 will mark its fourth edition. Set in the historic city of Miyazu, home to Amanohashidate—one of Japan’s Three Scenic Views—the festival is led by local pianist Kosuke Kanaya and others, promoting a community-rooted jazz culture. The Miyazu Rekishi-no-Yakata Cultural Hall, the festival venue, will welcome a wide array of bands and vocalists, both professional and amateur, as preparations move forward for the July 2026 event.
