Craft brews in the great outdoors – what better way to spend a beautiful November weekend? The free-to-enter Sakamori Festival is returning for its third year on November 1 and 2, when Hoshi no Sato in the city of Katano will play host to 13 craft beer breweries and local sake-makers. And to go with all that booze, you’ll also find delicious food courtesy of six local restaurants at this lush campground near Iwafune Shrine.
Food and drinks at the festival can only be purchased with special tickets, which are available in sets of 15. A set costs ¥2,800 when purchased in advance online, while the price at the event is ¥3,000. Additional tickets can also be purchased on-site for ¥200 each. Taking public transportation is highly recommended, as parking will not be available at the venue.
