Things to do in South Of Tokyo
-
Downbeat Bar
Jazz kissa, which fall somewhere between cafes and bars, boast extensive jazz-record collections. This is one of the oldest (1956) in Yokohama, with over 3000 albums and some serious speakers. Occasional live music means an occasional cover charge. Look for the 2nd-floor red awning.

Craft Beer Bar
This small counter bar has a revolving selection of 10 domestic craft brews on tap. There's no English menu, but you can just tell the barman what you want (ale, stout etc) and how you want it (pint or glass), and he'll happily oblige. Look for a plain wooden door in the alleyway, with English on the awning.

This popular new outpost from Australian celebrity chef Bill Granger proves that Yokohama still has an appetite for foreign flavours. There's a glass terrace and a long line for Sunday brunch.

Bar Ram
Kamakura has pockets of nightlife, including this hole in the wall in the lanes off Komachi-dōri. It's a tachinomiya (drink-while-standing bar) with plenty of old Rolling Stones vinyls and friendly banter. Look for the English sign.

BankART Studio NYK
This gallery and theatre in a former warehouse is a fixture on the local arts scene. You can sift through flyers for local events over drinks in the 1st-floor cafe.
