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.

Even in autumn, there are still plenty of music festivals being held.

Here’s a roundup of fall music festivals taking place in western Japan.

It covers a wide area from the Tokai region to Kyushu and Okinawa, and there are lots of interesting events in each region.
