Jazz Festivals in Eastern Japan [2025–2026]: List of Jazz Streets
As the name suggests, a jazz fest refers to a music festival dedicated to jazz.
Sometimes it’s held at a single venue, but quite often it takes place across multiple spots—like live houses, shops around town, or local landmarks.
In those cases, it’s also called a circuit event or a “Jazz Street,” turning the whole city into a wonderful day filled with jazz.
In this article, we’ll introduce jazz festivals held in eastern Japan.
Along with famous festivals in Tokyo and Yokohama, we’ll also feature events set in the great outdoors, so we hope you find a wonderful event and give it a try!
