Music Festival Master / Editor-in-ChiefKeisuke Hane
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.

With the arrival of autumn, the Koshinetsu and Hokuriku regions are filled with the joy of music.

Amid crisp air and mountains ablaze with color, autumn festivals offer a special experience where great nature and music intertwine.

On stages overlooking the majestic Alps, superb performances by accomplished artists resound.

This is a music festival unique to this area, where you can also encounter local food culture and traditional crafts.

Why not create irreplaceable memories while feeling the pleasant autumn breeze?
