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.

A wealth of music festivals will light up the winter in Kyushu and Okinawa again this year.

Artists of all genres and generations will deliver a wide range of performances on stages across the region.

These winter festivals—where you can savor supreme musical experiences along with local gourmet delights—are special events that resonate even more deeply in the cold season.

Set against the backdrop of Kyushu’s majestic nature and Okinawa’s blue seas, passionate performances by artists await you.

Why not dive into a moving midwinter experience right now?
