From 18 to 20 July, the 2025 Niseko Jazz Festival returned bigger and better than ever, with twelve standout acts across three days in the beautiful courtyard of Setsu Niseko. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Hokkaido, the event brought together world-class music and a passionate community of jazz lovers.

We are immensely grateful to the incredible MUSICIANS who lit up the stage, the dedicated EVENT CREW and VOLUNTEERS who helped bring the festival to life, and to Setsu Niseko for providing the perfect venue.

And of course, a heartfelt THANK YOU to all our GUESTS and SPONSORS — your belief in our vision and your commitment to culture, community, and creativity made this event possible.

We truly appreciate everyone’s support and belief in the power of music to connect and uplift. You helped create a festival atmosphere unlike any other — where music, mountains, and magical moments came together in harmony.

Until we meet again — thank you for being part of the music.

— The Niseko Jazz Festival Committee
