Tachikawa Oktoberfest 2015

It's still June and we've already lost count of how many Oktoberfests Tokyo has been blessed with this year, so it might be best to just let go and enjoy the ride – there are plenty more to come. Next stop for the caravan of sausages, oom-pah music and quality German (and Japanese) beer is Tachikawa and Showa Kinen Park, where spacious tents provide cover from the sun and offer a stage for nine days of merry revelry.
