Beer gardens are one of the trademark signs that summer has arrived, and from June 25th through until September 30th Gunma's Shiroiya Hotel will be hosting a beer terrace event. Priced at 4500 yen per person, the event includes an all you can drink setup for a two hour window, and there are a range of beverages on offer. Some of the beer options include Afterdark by Tokyo's Spring Valley Brewery, Tokyo White from Far Yeast Brewing, and Grand Kirin IPA from the Kirin Brewing Company.
The 4500 yen fee also includes some light nibbles like nuts and edamame chips, but there are other more substantial foods available to purchase at an additional charge.
Do note that reservations are required at least the day prior to your visit.
