Here's what's going down around Tokyo and Yokohama over the long weekend: 1️⃣ Diwali in Yokohama (Oct 25) 📍 Yamashita Park Live Bollywood stages, incredible Indian street food, dance performances, and a candlelit evening finale celebrating Yokohama’s historic ties to India. 2️⃣ 47th Yokosuka Mikoshi Parade (Oct 25) 📍 Yokosuka Central Main Street Around 50 portable shrines and festival floats storm the main strip with roughly 65,000 spectators. Loud, crowded, and raw festival energy. 3️⃣ Yokohama Marathon 2026 (Oct 25) 📍 Minatomirai / Bay Area Massive spectator vibe as thousands run past the bay, including an elevated highway stretch. Great energy, but heads up: big road closures in the morning. 💻 Head to thatjapanlife.com for full details, map links, and official websites! 📌 Save this post so you actually remember where to go this weekend. 🔔 Follow for more events.

Skip the chaotic Tokyo theme parks. Yokohama English Garden is the ultimate low-stress autumn outing with kids. They turn the central lawn into a rustic cemetery with giant, playfully posed skeletons that my son thought were hilarious. The best part? They use real heirloom pumpkins and build low-height photo stations just for toddlers. You do not have to stress about anyone trampling the flower beds to get a good picture. Plus, their massive collection of autumn roses blooms right next to the gothic displays. Save this for your October weekend planning and head over to thatjapanlife.com for my full detailed review and the breakdown of their night illumination event! #yokohamaenglishgarden #yokohamawithkids #kanagawalife #japanhalloween #yokohamaevents

Yokohama has a huge history with jazz music, and from October 30 to November 1, they are bringing that culture straight to the daily commute with "YOKOHAMA Station Jazz LIVE Vol.5." They are setting up free live stages at both the East Exit (by Lumine) and the West Exit (inside the JR Yokohama Tower Atrium). You don't need tickets—you can just grab a coffee, walk up, and listen to some amazing local big bands and jazz musicians while you shop. Swipe through for the stage locations and set times, and save this post for your autumn weekend plans! 📌 #yokohamaevents #yokohamalife #yokohamastation #japanlife #kanagawaevents
Live music right in the middle of Yokohama Station! 🎷✨
