Oktoberfest season

Its Oktoberfest season in Japan. A fact I was reminded of when reviewing events on this weekend in Saitama Prefecture, for my personal blog. This weekend there is one in Saitama, but next weekend is the big weekend for Oktoberfest and other beer festivals in Japan. Yes, in September rather than October!

In Japan one of the better known Oktoberfest events is the Yokohama Oktoberfest at the Redbrick Warehouse. That is on in October, but it starts in September. In 2025 the dates are from September 26th to October 13th.

There is also a chain of Oktoberfest that run different events. For example, they will run an Oktoberfest event in Shiba Park from September 12th to 23rd as well as an event in Urban park Lalaport from September 19th to October 13th.

Have you ever been to an Oktoberfest event in Japan?
