Dive into the Summer Spirit at Kyoto Station's Beer Garden

A unique opportunity awaits beer lovers and summer night enthusiasts at Kyoto Station. Running from August 12 to October 4, 2026, the KYOTO STATION BEER GARDEN at the art terrace lounge NIWA promises an unforgettable summer experience. This pop-up event, brought to life by NAKED, INC., is designed to offer guests a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere in the heart of Kyoto, combining art with leisure.

Located on the 7th floor of the Kyoto Station building, the garden features an open-air terrace area, allowing patrons to unwind while soaking in the summer ambiance. This reservation-only experience is priced at a reasonable 3,500 yen, making it a perfect choice for those looking to unwind after work or during a shopping trip. The garden offers an exclusive 90-minute course that includes an all-you-can-drink option and a selection of food that pairs well with a refreshing cold drink.

What to Expect at the Beer Garden

Guests will find a delightful mix of beverages and dishes, all tailored to enhance the beer garden experience. The menu features classic beer garden favorites such as edamame, fried potatoes, dumplings, and even meat wrapped rice balls. To top off the meal, patrons can enjoy the mini-size “NIWA Kakigori”, a shaved ice dessert that has become the summer's top favorite, available in two flavors: matcha and wasanbon strawberry milk.

Convenient Location

Easily accessible via an escalator from the JR Kyoto Station Central Entrance, the beer garden is not just about enjoying drinks; it's about creating a relaxing getaway right within the station. Ideal for quick stops after work or casual meals following a day of sightseeing, this venue redefines convenience in a bustling urban environment.
