Sunset Live

A beloved annual music festival held each September on the beaches of the Itoshima Peninsula, just west of Fukuoka. Since 1988, Sunset Live has drawn musicians and festivalgoers for two days of live performances across multiple stages set against Itoshima's famous coastal scenery and spectacular sunsets. The festival blends music, surf culture, art, and community spirit, with proceeds supporting local charitable causes. Beyond the main stages, attendees enjoy local food stalls, beach activities, and the relaxed atmosphere that has made Itoshima a favorite escape from the city. The intimate, community-driven vibe sets it apart from larger commercial festivals.
