Why You Should Visit
For two days, craft breweries from around Japan set up in the Station Square on the ground floor of Kyoto Station Building. This is the second edition after the first in September 2025. The first announcement lists eight breweries, from Kyoto's KYOTO NUDE BREWERY to Tottori's Daisen G Beer, and food to go with the beer is on offer too. Entry is free and you pay for what you drink with tickets. On Friday it runs from noon to 9 pm, so it works for a glass after work or before catching the shinkansen.
