Jazz lovers rejoice in the opportunity to indulge in a day of free music. The Takatsuki Jazz Street attracts more than 100,000 visitors every year and is one of the premier music shows in Japan. First held in 1999, this two-day jazz festival features hundreds of bands from Japan and further afield, performing at 60 venues; mainly around JR Takatsuki Station and Hankyu Takatsukishi Station. To get the most out of the festival, take the free “paradise” bus that runs between the venues.
