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.

We’ve put together a roundup of music festivals in Kagoshima Prefecture, including summer festivals, rock festivals, and outdoor festivals.

We look forward to welcoming you again this year at exciting events like the Yakushima Tengosai and the Walk-In Fes!
