Nara Beer announces its April 11 hours; Naramachi Brewery in Nara is open as usual
In a post on Nara Beer’s Instagram, it was announced on April 11 that “We’re open today, too!” The Naramachi Brewery in Kideracho, Nara City, also lists different opening hours for weekdays and weekends/holidays in its April schedule, making it an easy place to stop by while strolling through town.
The Instagram post Nara Beer shared at noon on April 11 was a simple notice letting people know the brewery was open. The post title, “We’re open today, too! ...,” was a call for people to visit that day. Rather than announcing a new product or a limited-batch brew, the post stood out for plainly saying the shop was open right now.
Nara Beer Naramachi Brewery is a brewery located in Kideracho, Nara City. Its official website says it brews craft beer in Naramachi, the old downtown district, and that visitors can enjoy its signature beers inside the shop. In terms of access, it is about a 20-minute walk from Kintetsu Nara Station, or about a 5-minute walk from the Tanakacho or Kideracho bus stops. Because it sits a little away from the main sightseeing area, it is an easy stop to combine with a walk through Naramachi.
For April, the opening hours are listed as 11:00 to 19:00 on weekdays, 11:00 to 20:00 on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, with Tuesdays closed. April 11 falls on a Saturday, so it appears they were operating on the longer weekend hours. They also sell bottled beer, and the lineup offered can change from day to day, so it could be worth enjoying a drink in the shop while checking out the day’s selection.
News from craft beer shops often focuses on new releases, but these kinds of opening-hour notices matter, too. When you want to be sure a place is open while traveling, or when you want a drink nearby, a simple “we’re open” message is practical. It was a calm, everyday update that feels very much like Nara Beer, blending naturally into the streetscape of Nara.
