Komazawa Oktoberfest

While it is one of the more popular Bavarian beer fests in Tokyo, this Setagaya soiree at Komazawa Park doesn't really bring anything original to the table: you'll find the familiar sausages and quality German beer served from hefty glass tankards, plus contributions from Japanese craft breweries – exactly what the masses desire. This year's edition features the German oom-pah band Die Kirchdorfer, who have been firing up the crowds at the original Oktoberfest in Munich since 1994.
