Forest Beer Garden 16:30
¥5,980 (Mon-Fri until Jun ¥4,980), junior high school students to 19 year olds ¥5,980, primary school students ¥3,300, children four years old and up ¥1,800, free for younger children
Taking over the expansive outdoor lawn within the children’s play area at Meiji Shrine’s Outer Gardens, the Forest Beer Garden distinguishes itself from other boozy events in town with its lush green surrounds and bubbling waterfall.
The popular two-hour all-you-can-eat (¥5,980; ¥4,980 on Apr-Jun weekdays excluding hols) option includes everything from barbecue beef, pork and lamb to veggies, yakisoba noodles, fried garlic rice, sausages and even ice pops. It includes an all-you-can-drink selection of eight kinds of beers including Kirin and Heineken, in addition to whisky, sours, wine and soft drinks.
Continuing from last year, the beer garden is offering a special all-you-can-drink craft beer option for an additional ¥1,500. The selection includes four craft beer options from Spring Valley Brewery, like the Hojun Lager 496 and Jazzberry. Despite being one of the largest beer gardens in Tokyo with a capacity for around 1,000 people, the event can get extremely busy at weekends, so advance bookings are recommended via the website.
