Hilltop Hotel Beer Garden (2013)

Ochanomizu's 'hotel with personality' houses its summer beer garden in the same space it uses for wedding ceremonies at the weekend. With pews flanking the long tables, it's like getting drunk in your school chapel, if your school was actually a Butlins holiday camp. The prices are above average (¥840 beers, party courses from ¥5,800, including food and 90 minutes of all-you-can-drink booze), but there's little about the setting to warrant paying that much.
