List of Jazz Festivals in the Kanto Region [2025–2026]

MIYA JAZZ INN is a jazz event that attracts over 100,000 attendees every year! It aims to showcase Utsunomiya—the city of jazz—both inside and outside the region, promote culture across Japan, and revitalize the city. Many of Utsunomiya’s specialty products are also on display, making it an event that promotes the city in a comprehensive way!

SUPER DREAM LAKE CONCERT is a music event held at Hanamizuki Square on the shore of Lake Senba. Centered around jazz, it brings together outstanding artists from a variety of genres for live performances. If you're in or around Mito, why not come by?

This is a free-admission jazz event held since 2023 under the concept of “bringing music more casually to the streets of Nihonbashi.” When you think of Tokyo’s Nihonbashi, you might picture a district lined with historic department stores and a place that makes you want to stand up straight as you walk. How about enjoying outdoor live music and spending a grown-up evening sipping drinks like at a beer garden, as a new cultural experience for this neighborhood? It’s in an area you can stop by on your way home from work, so it could be a fresh way to enjoy your weekend.

Jazz in Fuchu takes place at more than 20 venues around Keio Line Fuchu Station. The event’s tagline is “A green city, connecting smiles through music!” With the whole town serving as a stage, people naturally gather—hopefully spreading more and more smiles.

Asagaya Jazz Street began in 1995 with the motto, “Brightening and enlivening Asagaya with jazz.” This event, where the town overflows with jazz, is run by local volunteers, and its handmade, community-driven nature is one of its key attractions.

A jazz event originating from the Seto Inland Sea—rich in history and culture—will be held in Tokyo as a sister event. The highlight is performances by artists who carry on the spirit of Django Reinhardt, rooted in the genre that blends the unique scales of Gypsy jazz with swing jazz. Precisely because this style is relatively niche within the jazz world, the event offers a chance to experience a new cultural scene and foster regional exchange through music. Why not enjoy it as if you were traveling while listening to the music?
