The FIVE LAKES of Mt. FUJI 2025
【Topics】
Professional jazz musicians as well as big band junior and senior high school students will perform in the foreground of the magnificent landscape of Mt. Fuji, a world heritage site.

The Fuji Five Lakes Jazz Festival is a celebration of music that reaches across generations, nationalities, crossing the boundaries of experiences through the common language we call JAZZ.

People from across the globe will gather at the base of Mount Fuji, creating new connections where regional charisma of the land and people will genuinely meet the music of the world.

This year, the jazz vocal group "The Bean Tones" from Los Angeles will visit Japan scheduled to perform as well as interact with local students and the community.
Professional saxophonist Runa Watanabe, originally from Lake Yamanaka, will also perform.

Music gathers people who connect at the base of Mt. Fuji. JAZZ that can only be encountered here will be created and resonate throughout the foothills of Mt. Fuji.
