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?

Romanticist and Shangri-LaNov 8 (Sat) – 9 (Sun), Nagano Prefecture

A camp festival born from the desire to build a community connected by camping and music. Not only pure campers, but also artist campers, workshop campers, campers who want to run a booth, comedian campers, DJ campers, campers who just want to stand out, campers who want to enjoy all of that, and even those with no experience but an interest—the camper reserves. A festival where everyone who loves camping can come together as one.

Schedule	Sat, Nov 8–Sun, Nov 9, 2025
place	Yatsugatake Agricultural College, Suwa District, Nagano Prefecture
