Oktoberfest 2026 is running at two Tokyo venues this Silver Week: the Shiba Park event, already underway, and a new Toyosu venue that opens on September 18 (Fri). From September 18 through September 23 (Wed, holiday), both venues will be open at the same time for six days.
Shiba Park pairs German beer and food with live music and a toast shared across the whole venue, while Toyosu offers a seaside spot where families and dogs can spend a relaxed afternoon by the water. For anyone deciding where to spend Silver Week, here's how admission, access, beer, food, and the overall atmosphere compare between the two venues.
APAMAN Co., Ltd., which operates the "APAMAN Shop" real estate franchise brand, is supporting both venues as part of its broader effort to help energize the neighborhoods where people live and build community connections.
