Why You Should Visit

For three days, Yase-Hieizanguchi — the last stop on the Eizan Railway — turns into a beer hall. The platform under its 1925 timber roof becomes the "Beer Home", and a train parked at the platform becomes the "Beer Train", so you can drink a local beer sitting in a train seat. Ten breweries and sake sellers from Kyoto and nearby rotate across the three days, with six food stalls open throughout. The station sits between Mt. Hiei and the Takano River, so evenings are cool. Entry is free; you pay only for what you drink and eat.

FAQ

Is there an entry fee?

Entry is free — you only pay for what you eat and drink. The original beer glass (2,000 yen, 150 per day) also gets you 50 yen off every drink.

Does it run in the rain?

The platform is roofed and the Beer Train is indoors, but the event is cancelled in stormy weather. Check the Eizan Railway website on the day.

Can I go by car?

There is no parking at the venue, and it is a drinking event — take the Eizan Railway to Yase-Hieizanguchi.

Can I bring children?

There is no age limit for entry and six food stalls are on site, but alcohol is not sold to anyone under 20 and photo ID is required. The venue is non-smoking.
