Yokohama Weather in September

September weather

Yokohama is still warm in September, but it's less intense than August. Expect sticky air, cloudy skies and frequent rain. Showers can interrupt a day out, and typhoons may bring rough weather, so keep plans flexible.

You can still stroll around Yamashita Park or explore Minato Mirai between showers. But long outdoor days feel tiring in the humidity, and beaches are less appealing when rain or rough seas roll in. Save the open-air sights for clearer spells, and have an indoor stop in mind.

Events and local days

Yokohama Oktoberfest often begins at the Red Brick Warehouse in late September, with German food and beer. Dates vary, so check the event schedule before you go. The month can also include Silver Week, a cluster of Japanese public holidays when many locals travel.

Travelling with kids? The Cup Noodles Museum in Minato Mirai makes a useful rainy-day stop, though it can be busy on weekends and holidays.

Crowds and practical tips

September is usually quieter than August, when summer holidays bring more families to the waterfront. It can also feel less crowded than November, one of Yokohama's best-loved months. Hotels and flights may be less in demand than in peak autumn, but Silver Week and Oktoberfest weekends can bring a rush.

If rain catches you near the Red Brick Warehouse, follow the covered route towards the nearby Marine & Walk shops for a dry break. Yokohama's weather can change quickly, so check the forecast before setting out for the waterfront.
