Kawagoe-based brewery Coedo gets in on the Oktoberfest action with a one-day festival of its own, held right outside Saitama Super Arena. With just five types of beer on offer – Coedo's Beniaka, Ruri, Kyara, Shiro and Shikkoku – the selection isn't quite as diverse as you'd get at the Yokohama Oktoberfest, but the prices should be a little less eye-watering. Music fest regulars Mountain Mocha Kilimanjaro supply a suitably funky soundtrack for the afternoon, and there's even talk of an 'Original Coedo Beer Dance', though we'd recommend getting well lubricated before attempting to partake in that.
Open October 8
Time Noon-6pm
Venue Saitama Super Arena (Keyaki Hiroba)
Address 8 Shintoshin, Chuo-ku, Saitama-shi, Saitama
