“Barefoot Concert 2026,” an event promoting environmental conservation at Kotohiki Beach and fostering community through music.
This year’s venue is Kaizō-ji Temple, the guardian temple of the beach, situated on a hill near Kotohiki Beach.
The day’s activities include an early morning Zen meditation session, a beach cleanup at Kotohiki Beach, a concert on the temple grounds, food trucks, and a flea market—offering a full day of enjoyment.
Why not enjoy music and socializing while connecting with the natural beauty of the ocean and reflecting on the environment?
