The National Stadium’s swanky next-door park is hosting a summer beer garden and outdoor cinema festival this month from August 1 to August 31. During the event period, expect to see the park transformed with tables and tents for a full beer garden get-up. Hosted by Corona, the beer garden is called Corona Cero Lounge and will have the usual Corona favourites such as Corona Extra (¥750), as well as the brand’s new non-alcoholic offering, Corona Cero (¥600), and inventive Corona-infused cocktails.
While you’re there, don’t miss the free outdoor film screenings happening on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The cinema line-up consists of Academy Award-winning titles such as Green Book and Top Gun: Maverick, as well as family favourites such as Paddington, School of Rock, The Minions and more. Note that all screenings are Japanese-dubbed versions of the films.
While entry to the festival is free, a special reservation is required to enter on August 16, when the nearby Jingu Stadium is hosting the Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival. Capacity is limited to two thousand visitors, so reserve a slot via Tablecheck before it's too late.
