What this is
EACH STORY ~THE CAMP~2026 is an outdoor music festival held over two days at Gokko Ranch Auto Campground in Nagano Prefecture on October 3rd and 4th, 2026. The event combines live music performances with a camping experience in a natural setting, offering attendees a chance to enjoy music under the open sky. Set in the scenic Nagano highlands, the festival taps into Japan's growing camp-festival culture, blending outdoor leisure with live entertainment. It represents a boutique, intimate festival experience distinct from large urban music events.
Who should go
This event is ideal for music fans who enjoy a relaxed, outdoor festival atmosphere away from the city crowds. Nature lovers and camping enthusiasts who want to combine their hobbies with live music will feel right at home here. The two-day format suits those looking for a weekend escape into the Nagano countryside in early autumn. Book accommodation or camping spots early, as capacity at ranch-style venues tends to be limited.
Good to know
Ticket sales channels have not yet been announced — check the official event social media and ticketing platforms such as eplus.jp or pia.jp for updates, both of which accept foreign credit cards and offer convenience store pickup at Lawson. As this is an auto campground venue, attendees may be able to camp on-site, but camping passes are likely sold separately from music tickets — confirm details when tickets go on sale. October in the Nagano highlands can be cool to cold, especially at night, so bring warm layers and waterproof gear regardless of the forecast. Driving is likely the most practical way to reach Gokko Ranch Auto Campground, so consider renting a car from Matsumoto Station if you are travelling without a vehicle.
