List of Summer Festivals in Western Japan Held During Summer Vacation [2025–2026]: Rock Festivals and Outdoor Music Festivals

A cozy, handcrafted music festival led mainly by amateur musicians, with the theme of blending nature and art. Performers are selected through an open call, and in addition to music, there’s a flea market and more, turning the shrine into a lively hub of music and art.

This is a music event produced by drummer and music producer Gota Yashiki and his wife, Tomomi Yashiki. As a new kind of festival that fuses Japanese traditional performing arts with rock, it offers experiences you can only have here. Even just the artist performances feature a star-studded lineup that fans will find irresistible, and the band members are legendary musicians active nationwide, all gathered together. With a variety of productions—including songs and dances by Kyoto’s geisha unique to the region—you can enjoy the finest in Japanese entertainment, all packed into this stage. Every part of it is unmissable.
