What to expect in 2026

Yokoshibahikari Town STREET TO B 2026 is a one-day outdoor hip-hop and street-culture festival held at Fureai Sakataike Park Athletics Stadium in Yokoshibahikari, Chiba Prefecture. The event combines live Japanese hip-hop with street sports, food trucks, family entertainment and a large fireworks finale, creating a full-day community festival rather than a music-only concert.

The 2026 edition builds on the first STREET TO B held in the town and expands its music programme with major names from Japanese hip-hop history alongside newer performers and collaborative acts. Confirmed artists include Zeebra, RHYMESTER, SOUL SCREAM, NITRO MICROPHONE UNDERGROUND, CHOZEN LEE and THE BANG ATTACK, RITTO & Yasu-Pacino & DJ4号棟, 魂音泉, KAKU, KEN and KAJA.

The festival is part of the wider Yokoshibahikari Town Fireworks Yui Festival, meaning visitors can experience music and street culture during the day before the fireworks take over the park after the music programme ends. The official festival site describes the concept around bringing together established hip-hop legends, new-generation artists, food, street culture and local community activities.

Hip-hop focus

STREET TO B is centered on Japanese hip-hop, with artists representing different generations and styles. The programme includes established groups, solo rappers, DJs and collaborative performances.

Street culture

The wider event includes freestyle basketball, basketball activities and hip-hop dance programming. The official festival information also highlights SAMURAI BALLERS and selected freestyle basketball performers as part of the surrounding street-culture programme.

Family atmosphere

The event is designed for multiple generations. Children and teenagers can enjoy the festival alongside adults, while the wider Yui Festival adds giant inflatable play equipment, food vendors and other activities.

Fireworks finale

After the music festival finishes, the wider Yui Festival continues with a fireworks presentation. The 2026 event is particularly significant because the fireworks programme is being revived after a long absence from Sakataike.

Event dates

Sunday, October 11, 2026

Opening time: 10:00

Showtime: 11:00

Festival end: 19:00

Fireworks: approximately 19:00–20:00

STREET TO B is scheduled as a full-day event, giving visitors several hours to experience the music, food, street activities and surrounding festival attractions. The official ticket listings confirm a 10:00 opening and 11:00 performance start.

The music programme is scheduled to conclude at 19:00. The fireworks are part of the wider Yokoshibahikari Town Fireworks Yui Festival and follow the music programme, providing a separate evening spectacle directly around the park.

Visitors planning to stay for the fireworks should allow additional time after the music festival and follow staff instructions concerning movement and viewing areas.

Venue & festival site

The event takes place at Fureai Sakataike Park Athletics Stadium in Yokoshibahikari, Chiba Prefecture.

Fureai Sakataike Park Athletics Stadium

1-1 Sakataike, Yokoshibahikari-machi, Sambu-gun, Chiba 289-1755, Japan

The wider Fureai Sakataike Park provides the setting for the music festival, food vendors, street activities and fireworks. The park’s open environment makes it possible to combine large-scale live performances with outdoor recreation and community activities.

Athletics stadium

The main STREET TO B music programme takes place around the athletics stadium area. The ticketed festival zone provides the principal viewing area for the performers.

Free areas

The wider Yui Festival also includes free areas and community attractions. The official site lists separate free spaces alongside the paid festival area, allowing visitors to experience some activities without purchasing the music-festival ticket.

Fireworks viewing

Fireworks can be viewed from different parts of the park, while separate paid viewing areas provide closer viewing opportunities.

Full lineup

The confirmed 2026 STREET TO B lineup features established Japanese hip-hop artists, groups and collaborative performers.

Zeebra

Zeebra is one of the major names associated with the festival and returns following the successful first edition. His appearance connects STREET TO B with the development of Japanese hip-hop over several decades.

RHYMESTER

RHYMESTER is another major Japanese hip-hop group on the bill. The group was also part of the memorable collaborative performance during the previous edition.

SOUL SCREAM

SOUL SCREAM joins Zeebra and RHYMESTER as another influential name from Japanese hip-hop history.

NITRO MICROPHONE UNDERGROUND

NITRO MICROPHONE UNDERGROUND is one of the major additions to the 2026 programme. Their inclusion strengthens the festival’s focus on Japanese hip-hop heritage.

CHOZEN LEE and THE BANG ATTACK

CHOZEN LEE and THE BANG ATTACK bring a live-band dimension to the programme, expanding the festival’s sound beyond strictly DJ- and MC-led performances.

RITTO & Yasu-Pacino & DJ4号棟

This collaborative performance combines multiple artists and DJ/production elements in one festival appearance.

魂音泉

魂音泉 adds another distinctive hip-hop performance to the lineup.

KAKU

KAKU is included among the supporting and featured artists for the 2026 programme.

KEN

KEN is also confirmed for the festival stage.

KAJA

KAJA completes the currently published artist list.

The official Ticket Pia and eplus listings confirm the principal lineup and note that programme details can change without notice.

Headliners & featured artists

STREET TO B is structured around a group of prominent performers rather than a single conventional headliner.

Zeebra

Zeebra is one of the most recognizable names on the bill and represents a major connection to Japanese hip-hop culture. His presence also links the 2026 festival with the first edition.

RHYMESTER

RHYMESTER is another central name. The group was involved in the previous edition’s final collaborative performance with Zeebra and SOUL SCREAM, which the official ticket listing describes as one of the memorable moments that helped establish the festival.

SOUL SCREAM

SOUL SCREAM adds another important connection to Japanese hip-hop’s earlier generations. Their appearance alongside Zeebra and RHYMESTER gives the 2026 programme a strong heritage component.

NITRO MICROPHONE UNDERGROUND

NITRO MICROPHONE UNDERGROUND provides one of the principal new attractions for the second edition. Their addition was specifically highlighted in the event’s ticket promotion.

CHOZEN LEE and THE BANG ATTACK

Their performance introduces a band-oriented live sound into a programme dominated by rap and hip-hop acts.

Stages & performance areas

The event combines several performance and activity zones around Fureai Sakataike Park.

Main STREET TO B stage

The principal ticketed music area hosts the main lineup of Japanese hip-hop performers. This is the central destination for visitors attending specifically for STREET TO B.

Basketball area

The wider festival includes freestyle basketball activities. The official Yui Festival programme highlights performances by SAMURAI BALLERS and selected freestyle basketball players, bringing urban sports into the event.

Hip-hop dance area

Hip-hop dance programming is also planned as part of the wider festival. Details are released separately by the organizers.

Food and market area

More than 30 food trucks and other food businesses are expected around the festival, creating a substantial dining area alongside the music programme.

Children’s activity area

The wider event includes giant inflatable playground equipment, giving younger visitors a dedicated entertainment option.

Fireworks viewing areas

After the music programme, the park becomes the setting for the fireworks. General viewing areas are available, with separately ticketed viewing areas for visitors who want a designated position.

Stage-by-stage schedule

The organizers have published the artist lineup and overall event timetable, but a complete artist-by-artist stage schedule is not available in the accessible official ticket information. Individual performance times should therefore be checked against the final timetable released by STREET TO B.

Morning opening

10:00

The festival grounds open and visitors can enter, explore food and activity areas and prepare for the music programme.

Main music programme

11:00–19:00

The principal STREET TO B stage operates throughout the day with performances from the confirmed lineup.

Street-culture activities

Freestyle basketball, dance and related activities are scheduled around the wider festival area. Some activities have separate participation times and registration requirements.

Basketball clinic

The official Yui Festival information lists a basketball clinic running from 16:00 to 17:30, led by freestyle basketball performer Whitea. The clinic has a limited capacity and a separate participation fee.

Fireworks

Approximately 19:00–20:00

The fireworks begin after the music programme concludes, creating the final large-scale visual event of the day.

Set times

The confirmed overall timetable is:

Opening

10:00

Live music

11:00

Music festival conclusion

19:00

Fireworks

Approximately 19:00–20:00

The exact individual artist set times should be confirmed through the official timetable before attending. The organizers have promoted the event as a continuous full-day programme, and the final running order may be subject to changes.

The fireworks are technically part of the wider Yui Festival rather than an additional music performance, so visitors should plan for a transition from the music area to their chosen fireworks viewing position.

Ticket types

The 2026 STREET TO B admission structure includes a standard advance ticket and free admission categories for certain age groups.

Advance general admission

Approximately $44.

The published advance price is ¥7,000, converted here to approximately $44 using an exchange rate of roughly ¥158 to US$1.

Early-bird ticket

An early-bird ticket was also offered before the standard advance ticket phase. The exact early-bird amount is no longer shown in the current ticket listing, so visitors should check the official ticket platform for availability.

Children and young visitors

Visitors aged 18 and under are admitted free under the organizer’s stated eligibility conditions. A photo ID is required at the entrance to verify eligibility.

Older visitors

Visitors aged 65 and over are also admitted free under the stated eligibility conditions, with photo identification required.

Parking ticket

A separate paid parking ticket was listed at approximately $19, based on the published ¥3,000 price. The official Yui Festival website currently states that paid parking has sold out.

VIP & premium options

The standard 2026 STREET TO B ticket does not function as a conventional VIP festival ticket. The main music admission is designed around the general paid festival area.

Paid festival area

The main ticket provides access to the designated STREET TO B festival area and music performances.

Fireworks premium viewing

The wider Yui Festival offers separately ticketed fireworks viewing areas. These are intended to provide a closer or designated position for the evening fireworks rather than backstage access to the music performances.

Festival-exclusive recognition

The 2026 official site introduces a special “Festival God” and “Festival Goddess” recognition for selected early entrants to the paid area. Two selected participants can receive a long-term admission privilege for future Yui Festival paid areas. This is an event promotion rather than a conventional VIP ticket category.

There is no currently confirmed 2026 commercial VVIP package comparable to the special sponsorship package offered during the previous festival’s crowdfunding campaign.

Event rules

Visitors should prepare for an outdoor festival environment and follow the organizer’s instructions throughout the day.

Identification

Visitors using age-based free admission must present an appropriate photo ID at the entrance. The ticket information specifically requires identification for the free under-18 and 65-plus categories.

Photography

Because the official festival records footage for promotional and aftermovie use, visitors should expect photography and video recording around the grounds. The organizer states that people who do not wish to appear can signal with an appropriate gesture when a camera is directed toward them, allowing the production team to adjust the footage where possible.

Weather

The festival takes place outdoors, so visitors should prepare for changing autumn weather, including cool temperatures, wind or rain.

Crowds

Visitors should follow staff directions around the athletics stadium, food areas and fireworks viewing zones, particularly when the music programme ends and the crowd begins preparing for the fireworks.

Parking

Vehicles must use designated parking areas. The official organizer warns that nearby roads and parking spaces are affected by event-day traffic restrictions.

How to get there

The main venue is Fureai Sakataike Park in Yokoshibahikari Town, Chiba.

From Yokoshiba Station

JR Yokoshiba Station is the nearest rail station. The official festival website states that regular circulation buses operate between the station and the festival area.

From Tokyo

Visitors traveling from Tokyo can use the JR network toward eastern Chiba and continue toward Yokoshiba Station. Because the festival is held outside central Tokyo, allowing extra travel time is recommended.

From Narita

The venue is within the broader Narita and eastern Chiba travel area. Visitors arriving through Narita Airport can combine airport transport with rail or taxi travel toward Yokoshibahikari.

By car

Driving is possible, but visitors must use the designated event parking areas rather than attempting to park close to the festival entrance.

Event shuttle

The circulation-bus system from Yokoshiba Station is particularly useful because event-day traffic restrictions make direct access by private vehicle less convenient.

Public transport & parking

Public transportation is recommended for visitors who want to avoid event-day traffic restrictions.

JR Yokoshiba Station

The station is the main public transport gateway for the event. Regular circulation buses connect the station with Fureai Sakataike Park.

Circulation buses

The official organizer publishes a special circulation-bus timetable for the event. Visitors should check the latest timetable before leaving the station because services are arranged specifically around festival traffic.

Paid parking

A paid parking ticket was available for approximately $19. The official website currently reports that the paid parking allocation is sold out.

Traffic restrictions

The roads immediately surrounding the venue are affected by event-day traffic controls, and the organizer specifically warns that normal nearby parking cannot be used. Drivers should follow the official parking map rather than attempting to find informal parking near the park.

Accommodation areas

Yokoshibahikari is a smaller destination than central Tokyo, so visitors attending from outside the area may want to consider accommodation in nearby cities.

Yokoshibahikari

Staying locally provides the shortest journey to the festival and allows visitors to remain close to the park after the fireworks.

Sanmu area

The wider Sanmu area offers additional accommodation and provides convenient access to Yokoshibahikari by road.

Narita

Narita is a practical choice for international visitors because of its airport, hotels and transportation connections. It also provides a wider selection of accommodation than Yokoshibahikari itself.

Choshi

Choshi can work for visitors who want to combine the festival with eastern Chiba sightseeing and the Pacific coast.

Tokyo

Visitors staying in Tokyo can attend as a day trip, although the combination of a full-day festival and evening fireworks means the return journey should be planned carefully.

Food & drink

Food is an important part of the wider STREET TO B and Yui Festival experience. The official promotion highlights more than 30 food trucks and food businesses around the venue.

Food trucks

The festival’s mobile food vendors provide convenient meals and snacks throughout the day, allowing visitors to eat without leaving the event grounds.

Local Chiba produce

The wider festival promotes Yokoshibahikari’s local food culture and agricultural products, giving visitors an opportunity to sample regional specialties.

Festival snacks

Visitors can expect casual festival-style food, grilled dishes, quick meals, sweets and drinks suitable for eating between performances.

Official craft beer

The 2026 Yui Festival has introduced locally connected official drinks including UME CRAFT, made using local green plums, and KUJUKURI OCEAN, a craft beer inspired by the Kujukuri coast.

Family dining

With children’s attractions and a multi-generational audience, the food area is designed to accommodate families as well as adult music fans.

Accessibility

The event takes place in an outdoor athletics stadium and park, so accessibility conditions differ from those of an indoor concert hall.

Open festival grounds

The park provides relatively spacious outdoor areas, but visitors should expect grass, paths, crowds and changing weather conditions.

Family facilities

The wider event provides family-oriented spaces and children’s entertainment, including giant inflatable play equipment.

Mobility planning

Visitors using wheelchairs or mobility aids should contact the organizer before attending to confirm accessible entrances, viewing arrangements, restrooms and routes through the park.

Transportation

The circulation bus from Yokoshiba Station can be useful for visitors who do not want to walk the full distance to the venue. Visitors requiring additional assistance should ask event staff at the station or entrance.

Fireworks

Crowds can become significantly denser around the end of the music programme. Visitors with mobility requirements should choose their fireworks viewing position in advance and allow additional time for movement.

Best days to attend

STREET TO B 2026 is a single-day festival, so there is no choice between different festival days. The main decision is how much of the wider programme to experience.

For hip-hop fans

Arrive before the main music programme begins to experience the full progression of artists rather than arriving only for the major names.

For Japanese hip-hop history

The appearances by Zeebra, RHYMESTER, SOUL SCREAM and NITRO MICROPHONE UNDERGROUND provide a particularly strong concentration of established Japanese hip-hop acts.

For street culture

Visitors interested in hip-hop beyond music should allow time for freestyle basketball, dance and other street-culture activities around the festival.

For families

The daytime programme combines music with food, children’s activities and open park areas, making it possible to create a broader family day rather than spending the entire time directly in front of the music stage.

For the complete experience

Staying from the 10:00 opening through the 19:00 music conclusion and into the fireworks provides the fullest version of the event. The fireworks continue the wider Yui Festival experience after STREET TO B finishes.

Previous year’s highlights

The previous edition was the first STREET TO B festival and established the event’s combination of Japanese hip-hop, food, street culture and fireworks.

The 2025 lineup included Zeebra, RHYMESTER, SOUL SCREAM, KAJA, KEN, C-Style, TOKADAG, Yasu-Pacino & Ritto and Rap Obake. The music programme ran as part of the wider Yui Festival at Fureai Sakataike Park.

Legendary collaboration

One of the most notable moments of the first edition was a collaborative performance involving Zeebra, RHYMESTER and SOUL SCREAM. The 2026 official ticket promotion specifically describes this closing collaboration as a memorable performance that generated significant response and helped establish the festival.

Freestyle basketball

The 2025 festival also featured a substantial freestyle basketball programme. Performer and coordinator Nock described a showcase bringing together players from different parts of Japan, followed by a spontaneous jam session.

Fireworks

The music festival was followed by a fireworks programme, creating the same basic music-to-fireworks transition that continues into the 2026 edition.

Growing festival concept

The 2026 programme expands the artist lineup by adding NITRO MICROPHONE UNDERGROUND and CHOZEN LEE and THE BANG ATTACK, while continuing the connection between hip-hop, food, street culture and fireworks.
