Yokohama Oktoberfest 2026
Yokohama Oktoberfest turns the Red Brick Warehouse Event Square into a beer-and-music gathering. The large tent centres on German-band performances, while beer-garden booths and a lawn area offer different settings. A separate Hofbrau booth advertises full service and all-you-can-drink arrangements. Those choices are distinct from ordinary admission: choose the experience you want before treating the ¥500 entry ticket as a package.

Practical information
- Reservation
- Not confirmed
- Tickets / booking
- Admission is ¥500 including tax; junior-high-school-age children and younger enter free. Food, drinks, merchandise and glass deposits are separate. Visitors under 20 must be accompanied by a guardian. The organizer also lists a ¥3,700 tasting set with three 250 ml pours and an original mug; that optional purchase is not general admission.
- Price note
- Admission ¥500; junior-high-school-age children and younger free. Food, drinks, merchandise and glass deposits extra; under-20s need a guardian.
- Access
- The venue gives walks of about six minutes from Bashamichi or Nihon-odori, 12 minutes from Minatomirai and 15 minutes from Sakuragicho via Kishamichi or from Kannai. It asks visitors to use public transport because surrounding roads and parking are expected to be congested on weekends and holidays.
- Rain
- The organizer plans to operate in rain but may close in severe weather. Check the event's operating notice before travelling, particularly if your plan depends on outdoor seating; a tent programme does not guarantee the whole event will remain open in severe conditions.
- Crowds
- Choose between the large tent, beer-garden booths and lawn before joining an area. The ordinary event hours do not guarantee a seat; reserved or full-service offers have their own conditions rather than being included with admission.
Recommended for
Visitors who want to compare German beers, hear live German-band music and spend time at the Red Brick Warehouse rather than just pass through the waterfront.
Not recommended for
Visitors expecting food, drinks or glass deposits to be included in the entrance fee, or looking for a quiet museum-like stop. The main tent is programmed around live music.
Nearby / itinerary
- Nearby spots
- The event takes place at the Red Brick Warehouse itself. Keep the warehouse visit and your event spending as separate parts of the waterfront plan; purchases inside the warehouses are not covered by the event entrance fee.
- Itinerary hint
- For music, published large-tent performances are weekdays at 13:00, 15:00, 17:00 and 20:00; weekends/holidays at 12:00, 14:30, 16:30 and 19:30, lasting about 30 minutes. Opening day, 18 September, instead lists 17:30 and 20:00. Build the approach walk around one performance and allow time to finish purchases before the 21:00 last orders; use the organizer's stage schedule and daily notices for live confirmation.
