Oktoberfest in Tokyo

Here are some scenes from an Oktoberfest celebration in Hibiya Park in the middle of Tokyo.

Beer, saurkraut, big pretzels, sausages, and yakisoba. Plus enough cowbell to sastify even Christopher Walkens.

Despite being Oktoberfest, this event is usually held in mid-September for 3 evenings from 6-10.

now, now as Basil would say "Don't mention the war!"

[BusanKevin]

dude! That looked like an awesome time! The line ups for beer reminded me of the hanami lineups for the toilet in Osaka-jo koen....really long!!!! TOO long!

[RoninDave]

i'd rather wait for beer than a toilet. the former can be annoying, the latter painful. I'm surprised you didn't excerise your manly right to wee in the bushes - or on the street like some salarymen do.

Do you mean to tell me that Asahi and which ever other beers companies are making money off this don`t provided 30 or so cute, in costume, young Japanese girls to serve beers at your tables?? shame on them!!
