What other travelers are saying about Yokohama Oktoberfest
Waterfront historic warehouses turned into shopping and eating mall. Yes, it's a total tourist trap but a must-see when in Yokohama. An easy and pleasant walk from the nearest train station, Sakuragicho, with the promenade, cup noodle museum, and other attractions along the way or easy side trips. We love visiting Yokohama and it's an easy 30 minute train ride from Tokyo Station to Sakuragicho. I suggest coming here later in the afternoon, walk and shop, eat at one of the numerous good restaurants in the surroundin area, enjoy the night lights, and return to Tokyo (if you're not planning to stay overnight). I really suggest staying overnight then you can do the whole waterfront area all the way to their excellent Chinatown.
The festival features a variety of traditional German foods, including pretzels, sausages, schnitzels, sauerkraut, and other hearty dishes. There are also many Japanese takes on German cuisine, offering a unique fusion experience.
The festival typically occurs in early October, though exact dates can vary each year. It usually spans a week or more, giving visitors ample time to enjoy the festivities.
Yes, the festival is known for its lively atmosphere, featuring live music from German bands playing traditional tunes and contemporary hits. There are also various games and cultural performances to keep visitors entertained.
Such a nice place! The walk to get there is very soothing and the building is beautiful. The shops inside sell mostly leather goods, jewellery and home decor but everything has a quality feel to it and many things seem to be made locally.
The gourmet section is also great.
Highly recommended!
And the balcony is a super nice place to just sit and relax a bit…
It was not free to get into the outside food market but do not let that stop you from exploring inside the historic brick warehouse. A few restaurants, the one we decided on was Chano ma and we had no complaints.
The service, environment and food was very comfy as they have beds on the wall. Please also stop by the honey stand, The Wharf restaurant and the pie area as well. Just a few more miles away was a fair going on. Do much going on to do in this area.
The buildings look really cool from the outside but it was a little busy once we were inside. There were different kinds of shops, some fancy some less as well as a few restaurants that were all sit-down places. We stopped at a few places but it wasn't my favorite shopping mall.
The Red Brick Warehouse in Yokohama, located by the waterfront, is an exceptionally beautiful destination. During our visit, a strawberry festival was taking place. We did not enter the building due to an entrance fee; however, we enjoyed walking around the area and taking photographs. The weather was pleasant, and the walkways were well-maintained and convenient.
