Yokohama Frühlingsfest
Held all across Germany to celebrate the coming of spring, Frühlingsfest is also a familiar feature on Yokohama's Golden Week calendar. This year's edition features 12 types of German beer from breweries such as Schmatz, Hofbrau and Weihenstephan, with glasses starting from ¥1,200. You can try some Japanese brews, too, such as Yokohama Beer (¥1,000) and Shonan Gold (¥1,000) by Sankt Gallen Brewery. There's an extensive, meat-heavy selection of food like sausages, schnitzels, roast beef and diced steak with frites to pair with your brews. If you're looking for something sweeter, you can also pick up desserts like kakigori shaved ice and ice cream sodas. There's always plenty of fun stuff to look forward to for kids, with this year's edition featuring a giant caterpillar-shaped inflatable slide, a homemade sausage crafting workshop, and a fishing pond to catch goldfish. Adults, meanwhile, can look forward to live oom-pah music by the Woho and Kalendar Band at 12noon, 2.30pm, 5pm and 7.30pm every day. Entry is free and you just pay for food and drink as you go.
