What this is
Yokosuka's very first night market brings together craft beer, live music, and a surprisingly eclectic food lineup — think fresh seafood skewers and tuna steak alongside jerk chicken and Taiwanese specialties. Held at Ichigo Yokosuka Port Market, the evening features local musicians and DJs including RUEED & RYUKOU, Hanah Spring, and DJ KEI NAKAYAMA. Early arrivals are rewarded: the first 200 guests get a free craft beer, and the first 250 receive free grilled Miyazaki chicken.
Who should go
Craft beer fans, food explorers, and anyone who enjoys a relaxed outdoor evening with live music. Arriving early is worth it for the freebies, so this suits people happy to show up at opening time rather than fashionably late.
Good to know
As an inaugural event, tickets or entry details have not been widely publicised — check the official Ichigo Yokosuka Port Market social media or event page for any entry requirements or advance registration. Bring cash; food and craft beer stalls at Japanese night markets typically operate cash-only. The free beer and chicken giveaways are first-come, first-served, so arriving at 4 PM sharp is strongly advised. Yokosuka Port Market is an open-air venue, so dress for warm July humidity and consider insect repellent for an evening event near the waterfront.
