The Yamanakako Tourism Association lists the Fuji Five Lakes Jazz Festival for Saturday, September 5, 2026, at Yamanakako Community Plaza Kirara. The program combines a daytime lakeside stage with a separate sunset premium live set, and prices depend on the seating area.
Key Facts For Travelers
Choose The Viewing Area Before You Go
For the daytime Lakeside Jazz Stage, a seated place on the Swan Stage costs 1,000 yen, while the lawn area is free. For the Sunset Premium Live, Swan Stage seating costs 3,000 yen and lawn access costs 1,000 yen.
These are separate program prices. Check the linked official event information for current ticket handling before travel, especially if you want a seat rather than lawn viewing.
Plan For An Outdoor Lakeside Day
Kirara is an outdoor venue beside Lake Yamanaka. Bring sun protection for the morning and a light layer for the cooler late-afternoon period, and use a ground sheet or suitable low seating only where venue rules allow.
The official listing describes performers ranging from local student groups to professional musicians. Program order and operating details can change, so treat the posted start times as planning anchors and recheck before departure.
Transport And Return Planning
The tourism-association page confirms the Kirara venue but does not provide a special-event transport schedule. Travelers using public transport should check the current bus timetable and the final return option before arriving.
Drivers should follow the event’s latest parking instructions rather than assuming ordinary venue parking will operate unchanged. Allow extra time around the 10:00 AM opening and the 6:00 PM finish.
Traveler Actions
- Decide between Swan Stage seating and lawn viewing before arrival.
- Recheck ticket handling and program updates on the official page.
- Bring weather protection and a layer for the lakeside evening.
- Confirm the return bus or parking plan before the event starts.
- Arrive early if you want a specific viewing area.
