The InterContinental Yokohama Grand has opened its Bayside Beer Garden in the precincts of the hotel's outdoor first-floor terrace, offering the perfect spot to enjoy panoramic views of Yokohama port, sea breezes, and a few beers with family and friends on summer evenings.

There's a two-hour, all-you-can-eat-and-drink plan for ¥4,500 in advance and ¥5,000 at the door. The plan includes a buffet, and unlimited beer, wine, cocktails and soft drinks. There are a la carte selections as well. In the event of bad weather, the Starboard music lounge will be used.

The beer garden is open through Sept. 30, from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. (last orders 9:30 p.m.) on weekdays, and from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on weekends and holidays. It is closed Aug. 1 for a fireworks event.
