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.

The long-awaited season of winter festivals that brighten the music scene in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions has arrived.

Against the backdrop of the Seto Inland Sea’s serene winter vistas and snow-capped mountains, heartwarming music festivals will be held across the area.

From local artists to nationally renowned bands, a diverse lineup of musicians will add a special touch of color to the cold season with their performances.

In this article, we’ll introduce the venues and performers of the most notable winter festivals taking place in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions.

Past events

machiotoSun, 2/22, Okayama Prefecture

As a spin-off of hoshioto, which is held annually in Okayama Prefecture, this event is titled machioto because, unlike hoshioto—which takes place at a campground under starry skies—it is held in live music venues in the city. It’s a circuit-style event that takes place across several live houses in Okayama City. Why not come and discover some new music?
