Jason Mraz Asia 2026 brings the American singer-songwriter back to Japan for his first Japanese performances in approximately seven years. The Japan leg consists of two concerts: Tokyo Garden Theater on November 10, 2026, followed by Festival Hall in Osaka on November 11, 2026. Both performances are scheduled to open at 18:00 and begin at 19:00.
The Japanese concerts form part of Mraz’s wider Asia 2026 tour, which also visits Manila, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Hong Kong and Seoul. His official tour schedule confirms Tokyo on November 10 and Osaka on November 11 before the tour continues to Seoul on November 14.
The Japan concerts will feature Jason Mraz with a full band rather than a purely solo acoustic format. Contemporary tour announcements describe the Asia shows as full-band performances built around a retrospective set spanning more than two decades of his career.
Do you know? Planning events, festivals, concerts, and cultural experiences in Japan can be overwhelming. Japan Travelo brings everything together in one place, helping you manage your itinerary, transport, and accommodation with ease—so you can enjoy Japan without the stress of planning.
That makes the concerts especially relevant for long-time fans who know Mraz through songs such as “I’m Yours,” “I Won’t Give Up,” “Lucky,” “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry),” “93 Million Miles,” “You and I Both,” “Love Someone,” “Have It All” and “A Beautiful Mess.”
The 2026 tour also follows the release of Grandma’s Gospel Favorites, an album Mraz recorded approximately two decades ago for his grandmother and finally released on May 8, 2026. The record includes songs such as “Turn Your Radio On,” “Daddy Sang Bass,” “It Is No Secret,” “Peach Pie,” “His Eye Is On The Sparrow” and “The Old Rugged Cross.”
The Japan visit is also being supported by a special release of Lalalalovesongs, Mraz’s collection of love songs, with a bonus disc containing live versions of the same 11 songs. The Japan-edition release includes “I’m Yours,” “Lucky,” “I Won’t Give Up,” “You and I Both,” “The Woman I Love,” “Let’s See What the Night Can Do,” “Have It All,” “Love Someone,” “Sleeping to Dream,” “I’m Coming Over” and “A Beautiful Mess.”
The Tokyo concert remains on general sale, while the Osaka performance has reached sold-out status through the main ticket allocation. SMASH has subsequently announced a small release of limited-view reserved tickets for Osaka, including restricted-view seats and balcony box seats.
Jason Mraz Asia 2026 has two Japanese performances.
Tokyo – November 10, 2026
Osaka – November 11, 2026
The two shows are consecutive evenings, making it possible for dedicated fans to attend both performances by traveling from Tokyo to Osaka between November 10 and November 11.
Jason Mraz’s official website confirms both Japanese dates as part of the Asia 2026 tour.
Ticket Pia currently lists Tokyo general sales through October 25, while its current listing shows the Osaka allocation as sold out.
Jason Mraz will perform at two major indoor concert venues during the Japanese leg.
Tokyo Garden Theater
Tokyo Garden Theater is located at 2-1-6 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo. The venue is part of the Ariake Garden complex and is one of Tokyo’s major dedicated concert and live-entertainment spaces.
The theater provides a large auditorium with tiered seating and is designed for concerts and major performances. Its location in Ariake also places it close to shopping, restaurants and hotels within the wider Tokyo Bay area.
For Jason Mraz, the Tokyo Garden Theater setting provides a substantial concert environment while retaining the intimacy of a fully seated auditorium.
The surrounding Ariake Garden complex offers restaurants, shops and hotel accommodation, making it convenient for visitors who want to spend several hours in the area before the concert.
Festival Hall – Osaka
Festival Hall is located at 2-3-18 Nakanoshima, Kita-ku, Osaka. The venue is one of Osaka’s best-known concert halls and has a seating capacity of approximately 2,700. It hosts a wide range of music and performing arts events and is recognized for its acoustics.
The Osaka venue provides an entirely reserved-seat environment, allowing fans to experience the full-band performance from fixed seating rather than a standing floor.
Its Nakanoshima location also makes the concert easy to combine with dining and sightseeing around central Osaka.
The officially announced lineup for both Japanese dates is:
Jason Mraz is the sole announced headline performer for the Japan concerts. No separate Japanese opening act or supporting artist is currently listed by SMASH, Ticket Pia or Jason Mraz’s official Asia tour schedule.
The shows are therefore structured around Mraz’s full concert performance rather than a multi-artist festival program.
The Asia tour is particularly focused on Mraz’s established catalog, with the promotional information describing the performances as retrospective shows covering his career of more than 20 years.
Jason Mraz
Jason Mraz is an American singer-songwriter from Virginia whose music combines acoustic pop songwriting with elements of soul, funk, reggae, R&B and other influences.
He became internationally known through songs including “You and I Both,” “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry),” “I’m Yours,” “Lucky,” “I Won’t Give Up” and “93 Million Miles.”
His catalog extends across more than two decades, beginning with Waiting for My Rocket to Come and continuing through albums including Mr. A-Z, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things., Love Is a Four Letter Word, Yes!, Know. and Look for the Good.
His 2008 album We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. produced some of his most recognizable international songs, including “I’m Yours,” “Lucky,” “Make It Mine” and “A Beautiful Mess.” His official catalog continues to feature these songs prominently.
The 2026 Asia tour comes after a period in which Mraz performed solo acoustic shows in Europe and full-band concerts in South America and Mexico. The Asian performances are specifically promoted as full-band shows, giving audiences a different format from the stripped-back acoustic concerts.
Mraz’s 2026 concert setlists have already demonstrated the breadth of the planned retrospective approach. A June performance in Brooklyn included “Living in the Moment,” “Long Drive,” “You and I Both,” “Love Someone,” “Unlonely,” “Have It All,” “Unfold,” “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry),” “I’m Yours” and “I Won’t Give Up.”
Jason Mraz Asia 2026 is a single-stage concert at each Japanese venue.
Tokyo Garden Theater main stage
The Tokyo show uses the theater’s principal concert stage with all-reserved seating around the performance area.
The auditorium’s tiered configuration provides different viewing sections, while the ticket categories divide the audience into SS, S and A seating areas.
Festival Hall main stage
The Osaka performance uses Festival Hall’s main concert stage. The venue has approximately 2,700 seats and is designed specifically for large-scale musical and performing-arts performances.
There is no secondary stage, festival village or standing-area stage currently announced.
Because the tour is centered on Jason Mraz and his band, the emphasis is on a continuous concert production rather than multiple performances occurring simultaneously.
There is one main performance stage at each Japanese concert.
Tokyo Garden Theater – November 10
Festival Hall – November 11
No opening artist is currently announced for either performance.
The concert is expected to move through different eras of Mraz’s catalog, with acoustic guitar, full-band arrangements and audience-focused moments forming part of the overall presentation.
The confirmed schedule for both Japanese concerts is 18:00 doors and 19:00 start.
The final finishing time has not been officially announced.
Recent 2026 performances provide an indication of the type of repertoire fans may encounter. A June Brooklyn show included “Living in the Moment,” “Long Drive,” “You and I Both,” “Song for a Friend,” “Love Someone,” “Unlonely,” “Have It All,” “Unfold,” “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry),” “Peach Pie,” “Hearing Double,” “I’m Yours,” “93 Million Miles,” “I Won’t Give Up” and “One Hell of a Memory.”
However, this should not be treated as the confirmed Japan setlist. The Asia tour may feature changes reflecting the current tour production, the full-band format and the Japanese audience.
Mraz’s earlier Japanese concerts also demonstrate his tendency to create varied sets rather than relying exclusively on one album. His 2019 Tokyo performance included “I’m Yours,” “I Won’t Give Up,” “Have It All,” “93 Million Miles,” “Long Drive,” “Lucky” and “The Remedy.”
The official ticket categories for both Japanese performances are:
SS Reserved Seat – approximately $120
The SS category is the highest standard seating tier and provides a reserved seat within the premium section of the concert hall.
S Reserved Seat – approximately $101
The S category provides reserved seating in the main seating structure and is positioned below SS in the official ticket hierarchy.
A Reserved Seat – approximately $76
The A category is the standard lower-priced reserved seating option.
The approximate USD figures are converted from the official published ticket amounts using an exchange rate of approximately ¥158.05 to $1.
The official ticket prices are the same for Tokyo and Osaka. SMASH and Kyodo Osaka list SS, S and A seating categories for the concerts.
Ticket availability differs by city. Tokyo remains on sale through its current general-sale period, while the regular Osaka allocation has sold out.
There is no separately announced VIP package for the Japan concerts.
Instead, the premium end of the standard ticket structure is the SS reserved seat.
The official information does not list a meet-and-greet, backstage access, VIP lounge, photo opportunity or special merchandise package for the Japanese dates.
Fans choosing SS are therefore purchasing the highest standard seating category rather than a hospitality package.
For Osaka, SMASH has also announced limited-view alternatives after the main performance sold out. These include:
The organizer warns that limited-view seats may have partial obstruction of the stage or production. Balcony box seats are positioned at height and are seated throughout the performance rather than allowing attendees to stand.
Several important ticket and admission rules apply to the Japan concerts.
Ticket requirement
Elementary-school-age children and older require tickets. Preschool children require a ticket if a seat is needed for them.
Ticket purchase limit
The official promoter states that each purchaser may buy up to four tickets.
Paper and electronic tickets
Both paper and electronic tickets are supported for the Japanese performances.
Official ticket channels
Fans are advised to use authorized ticket sellers. Kyodo Osaka warns that customers found to have purchased resale tickets through online auctions, ticket-trading sites or ticket shops may be refused entry.
Limited-view Osaka seats
The special Osaka limited-view seats come with explicit visibility restrictions. Some stage or production elements may be difficult to see, while balcony box seating requires attendees to remain seated during the performance.
Visitors should check their ticket information and venue instructions before traveling because individual admission procedures can change.
The two Japanese venues are located in well-connected areas of Tokyo and Osaka.
Tokyo Garden Theater
Tokyo Garden Theater is located in Ariake, Koto-ku, in Tokyo Bay. The venue can be reached using the Yurikamome and Rinkai rail networks.
Ariake Station and Ariake-tennis-no-mori Station provide convenient access through the Yurikamome Line, while Kokusai-tenjijo Station serves the Rinkai Line.
The venue is integrated with the Ariake Garden complex, so visitors can follow the signs from the surrounding commercial facilities toward the theater.
Festival Hall
Festival Hall is located in Nakanoshima, central Osaka.
Watanabebashi Station on the Keihan Nakanoshima Line is directly connected to the venue from Exit 12. Higobashi Station on the Osaka Metro Yotsubashi Line is also directly connected from Exit 4.
Yodoyabashi Station is approximately five to seven minutes away on foot, while JR Osaka Station is around 11 to 15 minutes away depending on the route and exit used.
Public transportation is the most convenient option for both concerts.
Tokyo
The Tokyo Garden Theater area is served by:
Visitors can use Ariake Station, Ariake-tennis-no-mori Station or Kokusai-tenjijo Station depending on their starting point.
Ariake Garden also provides parking facilities, but concertgoers should allow extra time if they choose to drive because evening events can increase demand.
The wider Ariake Garden complex provides accessible parking spaces, wheelchair rental and accessible toilets.
Osaka
Festival Hall is directly connected to Watanabebashi Station and Higobashi Station, making rail travel particularly straightforward.
Festival Hall itself does not have a dedicated private parking facility. The wider Nakanoshima Festival Tower has parking, but availability is limited. The official FAQ states that parking is charged by time and does not offer general parking reservations.
For either concert, public transportation is preferable, especially because the performances finish in the evening.
Visitors attending the Tokyo concert can consider several areas around Tokyo Bay and central Tokyo.
Ariake
Ariake is the most convenient area for Tokyo Garden Theater. Staying nearby minimizes the journey after the evening concert and gives visitors easy access to the venue and Ariake Garden.
Toyosu
Toyosu provides another convenient Tokyo Bay base with restaurants, shopping and transport links.
Odaiba
Odaiba is useful for visitors who want to combine the concert with Tokyo waterfront attractions.
Ginza and Shimbashi
These central districts provide a larger selection of hotels while maintaining practical connections toward Ariake.
For Osaka, the most convenient areas include:
Nakanoshima
This puts visitors close to Festival Hall and the riverside business and cultural district.
Umeda
Umeda offers extensive hotel choices and excellent rail connections. It is particularly practical for visitors arriving through Osaka Station.
Kitashinchi
Kitashinchi is close to Festival Hall and provides access to restaurants and evening entertainment.
Yodoyabashi
Yodoyabashi is another convenient base because Festival Hall can be reached directly or by a short walk.
Both concert venues are surrounded by restaurants and commercial facilities.
In Tokyo, Ariake Garden provides restaurants, cafés and shopping facilities close to Tokyo Garden Theater. Visitors can arrive early, have dinner or refreshments and then proceed directly to the venue.
The Tokyo Bay area also offers additional restaurants in Toyosu and Odaiba, although visitors should check individual opening hours on the concert night.
In Osaka, Festival Hall is located in Nakanoshima and is connected to Festival Plaza, which contains cafés, restaurants and shops. The official Festival Hall information specifically recommends Festival Plaza for meals before and after performances.
Festival Hall also has a buffet area in the main foyer where drinks and light food such as sandwiches are available. Food and drinks are permitted in the foyer, but eating in the auditorium seating area is not permitted.
Because both concerts begin at 19:00, visitors can comfortably plan an early meal before entering.
Both venues provide accessibility facilities, although visitors requiring dedicated assistance should contact the venue or promoter before the concert.
Tokyo Garden Theater
Ariake Garden provides wheelchair-accessible toilets, wheelchair rental and designated accessible parking. Wheelchairs rented through the complex can also be used at Tokyo Garden Theater and the surrounding Atrium Deck.
Event-specific accessible seating arrangements should be confirmed directly with the concert organizer because the available configuration can depend on the event.
Festival Hall
Festival Hall provides wheelchair spaces, elevators and barrier-free movement through the building. Its official FAQ states that wheelchair viewing spaces are available in limited numbers and that arrangements vary by performance.
The hall has multipurpose toilets on every floor, and elevators provide access to the rear of the seating areas and the wheelchair spaces.
Accessible routes are also available from Watanabebashi and Higobashi stations.
There are two Japanese dates, one in Tokyo and one in Osaka.
November 10 – Tokyo
The Tokyo performance takes place at Tokyo Garden Theater. This is the first Japanese date and the Tokyo ticket allocation remains available through the current general-sale period.
The Tokyo concert is the more straightforward option for visitors already staying in the capital or combining the concert with a wider Tokyo itinerary.
November 11 – Osaka
The Osaka concert takes place the following night at Festival Hall. The main Osaka ticket allocation is currently sold out, although SMASH has announced a small release of limited-view ticket options.
For fans who want to attend both concerts, the two-night schedule makes a Tokyo-to-Osaka itinerary possible. The journey between the cities can be made by Shinkansen, allowing fans to travel after the Tokyo performance or early on November 11.
Jason Mraz has not staged a Japanese tour every year, so there is no directly corresponding 2025 Japan edition of this tour.
The most relevant previous Japanese appearances came in 2019, when Mraz performed in Japan as part of his wider international touring schedule. His 2019 Tokyo set at Nakano Sunplaza included “Let’s See What the Night Can Do,” “Living in the Moment,” “Curbside Prophet / Geek in the Pink / The Remedy,” “No Plans,” “More Than Friends,” “Unlonely,” “Only Human,” “Love Is Still the Answer,” “Lucky,” “I’m Yours,” “93 Million Miles,” “I Won’t Give Up,” “3 Things,” “Might as Well Dance” and “Have It All,” followed by “Love Someone” as the encore.
Mraz also performed at Fuji Rock Festival 2019, where he appeared on the Green Stage.
The 2026 return therefore represents a significant gap since his last Japanese tour. Japanese promotional material describes the upcoming shows as his first Japan performances in seven years.
The current Asia tour also follows a period of different live formats. Mraz toured acoustically in Europe in 2025, then performed full-band shows in South America and Mexico during 2026 before bringing the full-band format to Asia.
The 2026 Japanese shows are also connected with the release of Grandma’s Gospel Favorites and the Japan-focused Lalalalovesongs deluxe edition, giving the concerts a broader context across Mraz’s catalog rather than being centered on a single new pop album.
Tickets are available through authorized ticketing channels, subject to availability.

Osaka ticket update
For Osaka, SMASH has announced a limited release of restricted-view reserved seats and balcony box seats following the main sell-out. The organizer warns that restricted-view seats may have partial obstruction, while balcony box seats are high-level seats where attendees must remain seated during the performance.
Professional photography equipment, video recording devices, and audio recording gear are strictly prohibited inside the seating bowl during the performances. Casual snapshot taking with smartphones may be permitted during specific designated moments, though flash photography is banned entirely to prevent artist distraction. Patrons found violating media policies may be asked by venue security to delete files or leave the premises without a refund.
Large suitcases, oversized backpacks, and bulky luggage are not allowed inside the seating areas due to safety and spatial constraints. Small purses, standard handbags, and compact personal bags that fit comfortably under your seat are permitted following security inspection. Attendees traveling from afar should utilize nearby train station coin lockers or hotel storage before arriving at the venue gates.
Once your ticket has been validated and scanned at the primary entrance checkpoints, exiting and re-entering the venue is strictly forbidden. Please ensure you have all necessary personal items, medications, and merchandise purchases secured before passing through the final admission gates. Emergency medical exceptions are handled on a case-by-case basis by venue security staff and onsite medical professionals.
A wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages alongside light snacks are available at designated concession stands within the concourse. Consuming outside food and beverages brought from external locations is strictly prohibited within the main seating and performance halls. Patrons must finish all refreshments in the lobby areas before entering the inner auditorium seating blocks.
Official tour t-shirts, hoodies, tour poster prints, and exclusive commemorative items will be stocked at designated merchandise booths. Both cash and major credit card payment methods are generally accepted at the merchandise counters for attendee convenience. Popular sizes and limited-edition items tend to sell out quickly, so arriving early before doors open is strongly recommended.
Tokyo Garden Theater is easily accessible via the Rinkai Line or Yurikamome transit lines connecting directly through the Ariake district. Festival Hall in Osaka is located directly above Nakanoshima Station on the Keihan Nakanoshima Line and near subway interchanges. Planning your return transit route in advance is advised, as local train stations experience heavy passenger congestion immediately following the show.
