Craft beer at the foot of Gifu Castle

Gifu Castle Rakuichi Beer Festival 2026 will be held on Saturday, October 24, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the lawn area of Gifu Park. Admission is free.

Five breweries from Gifu and Mie prefectures will gather at the event. The source post does not identify individual beer names, but visitors can expect a selection of craft beers from several local breweries and the opportunity to compare different brewery styles in one location.

Five food vendors will also be present, making it possible to pair the beers with a meal while enjoying an autumn day outdoors. Unlike beer events held around Gifu Station, this festival offers a more nature-oriented setting, with views toward Gifu Castle and the surrounding hills.

BEER&CRAFT, a beer pub located in Gifu City’s Suminoe district, is introducing the event to local craft beer fans. The festival should appeal both to experienced drinkers looking to explore regional breweries and to newcomers who want an approachable way to discover craft beer.

The participating brewery details and the beer lineup should be checked through the organizer’s latest announcements before visiting.
