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.

When it comes to music festivals, many people picture summer fests, but autumn outdoor festivals are not to be missed.

With the summer heat easing and a pleasant breeze in the air, enjoying an autumn festival is the essence of a great music experience.

In this article, we’ll introduce a roundup of events held in the Kanto region during autumn.

From up-and-coming artists to accomplished musicians, a star-studded lineup will gather, and each venue offers its own unique atmosphere.

Another draw is the chance to discover delicious seasonal autumn flavors and distinctive art works.

Why not head out and indulge in a luxurious music experience that’s only possible this time of year?

Did you know there’s a vast green open field in Tokyo? It was used as a venue for the Tokyo Olympics, and its area is said to be roughly the size of 10 Tokyo Domes. It hosts Tokyo’s largest outdoor festival, packed with things to enjoy—music, camping, gourmet food, fireworks, and Tokyo’s night skyline. As a camp-in festival, you can even bring your pets and spend time together, and if you choose a campsite in the music area, you can enjoy the stage right from your own tent. It’s the kind of event you’ll want to join every year as a summer festival to make family memories.
