Yokohama’s SEASIDE CINEMA 2022 screening Evangelion, Spider-Man and more this Golden Week

With Golden Week fast approaching, now is the time to begin planning activities that will keep you occupied during the week-long holiday.

Whilst many of us crave a break from the hustle and bustle of work life, the reality is that when Golden Week actually arrives we sometimes feel overwhelmed at the seemingly infinite time off we’ve been given. Pre-covid we might have considered booking a flight to whatever destination in Japan we want to tick off next, but since the start of the pandemic travel has been somewhat frowned upon and an emphasis has been put on valuing outdoor activities that can be enjoyed near home.

If you’re based in the Kanto area and are looking for a filler to provide some easy entertainment this Golden Week, perhaps you might like to consider spending some time at Yokohama SEASIDE CINEMA 2022.

Yokohama’s SEASIDE CINEMA is the largest outdoor theatre event in Japan, and offers a number of films at four separate outdoor venues around Yokohama Bay from the 1st to the 5th of May 2022.
The event itself is a nod of appreciation to the city’s former glory as one of Japan’s leading “Cinema Cities”.

We’ve included an introduction to each venue and its screenings below.

At the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, a large screen has been installed on the lawn of the Red Brick Park which overlooks the observation area of Minatomirai’s famous night view.

This particular venue is recommended for friends, couples or the whole family.
