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 a thirty-metre-long beer counter lined with taps serving many types of German beer that you can't find anywhere else in Japan.
Pair your brews with an extensive, meat-heavy selection of food like sausages, schnitzels, roast beef and diced steak with frites. In a new addition for this year, the festival will also have an outdoor German-style barbecue area along the seafront, allowing visitors to enjoy various types of skewered meat and locally sourced seafood and vegetables. If you're looking for something sweeter, you can 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 bungee-trampoline, a crafting workshop, and an obstacle course to play parkour tag on. Adults, meanwhile, can look forward to live oom-pah music.
Entry is free and you just pay for food and drink as you go.
