It’s one of Japan’s largest camping festivals, organized by the magazine GO OUT. The event has expanded to venues across the country, including Fumotoppara in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka, and Tenjin-hama Auto Campsite in Inawashiro, Fukushima. It features stylish camp sites, live performances by a variety of artists, booths from outdoor brands, and a full lineup of outdoor activities and fun.

A free live concert where the sea and music become one will be held on a beautiful beach in Onjuku, Chiba—perfect for that time of year when you’re reluctant to let go of summer. It’s a chance to enjoy heartwarming performances from artists while feeling the ocean breeze. From an outdoor stage just steps from the shore, music that will move you will spread across the venue. If you find a favorite artist, show your support with a tip. There will also be food trucks and stalls selling handmade goods and other items, offering opportunities for new discoveries. Come join the event with friends and family.

An indoor summer festival presented by the radio station J-WAVE. This event has been held as J-WAVE LIVE, but since 2022 it has been revamped and powered up into a large annual festival where you can enjoy music, food, and a market all at once. There are reserved seats available, so you can sit back and fully enjoy the live performances. Plus, because it’s hosted by a radio station, one of the highlights is the exciting lineup featuring a steady stream of popular, star-studded artists.

Muni Fest is a free outdoor rock event held under the slogan “Street performances for rock bands too!” Its appeal lies in the chance to casually enjoy high-quality indie rock bands that you rarely get to see outside of live houses. Be the first to witness the dawn of Japan’s music scene with your own eyes.
