Kojokan Pamco, a local-beer-and-plum-bath inn in Wakasa Town, Fukui, announced a commemorative project for the "Wakasa Road Century Ride 2026" in an Instagram post at 8:52 p.m. on January 25, 2026. Its official website has also published details of a special two-day, one-night lodging plan that combines craft beer and cycling.
Hop BroKojokan Pamco, the local-beer-and-plum-bath inn in Wakasa Town, Fukui, has put out a two-day, one-night plan to commemorate the Wakasa Road Century Ride 2026. It runs from April 18 to 19, and it's packed with appeal for craft beer fans!
MugiWhat! They put cycling and beer together!? That's way too bold!
Hop BroYou ride about 40 km around the Mikata Five Lakes with a guide, and the package includes dinner, craft beer, and even karaoke. Capacity is 16 people, applications must be made by groups of two or more, and the price is 20,500 yen for a 2-person room or 19,500 yen for 3 or more people (tax included per person).
MugiWow, it says it's designed with beginners in mind, so maybe I could do it too! But after the ride, I feel like I'd drink all 40 km's worth!
Hop BroThat's Pamco's real strength: it's a "craft beer inn" with brewing equipment right in the lobby. They've been doing it for over 20 years, and their standard lineup is three beers: "Plum Beer," "Alt," and "Klsch."
MugiWhat is that! Are Alt and Klsch spells? Special moves?
Hop BroIn more technical terms, Alt is an ale with a richer body, and Klsch is a cleaner, lighter ale. In short, it's the difference between "full malt flavor" and "easy, refreshing drinkability." Plum Beer uses Wakasa's famous Nishiida plum, so it has a distinctive aroma.
MugiOh, I get it now! And with local plums in it, it's the kind of thing that really stays in your travel memories!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, it's basically only served from the in-house taps, with no can or bottle sales. In other words, they're all-in on the experience of drinking it there. Ride, stay at the hot spring inn, and land on a beer you can only have in that place. Perfect.
MugiThat's the best! I'm already imagining that first drink after the finish! Hop, let's have a strategy meeting with plum beer right now!
Kojokan Pamco, located on the shore of Lake Mikata in Wakasa Town, Fukui Prefecture, has rolled out a special plan tied to the cycling event "Wakasa Road Century Ride 2026." As the post title suggests, the plan is centered on a "commemorative" theme, and it prominently features the inn's strength: craft beer experiences.
Key Points of the Plan
- Dates: April 18-19, 2026 (2 days, 1 night)
- Details: Guided cycling, dinner, craft beer, karaoke
- Course: Approximately 40 km around the Mikata Five Lakes area (designed with beginners in mind)
- Capacity: 16 people (applications must be made by groups of two or more)
- Price: 20,500 yen per person for a 2-person room, 19,500 yen per person for a room with 3 or more guests (tax included in all cases)
Kojokan Pamco continues to operate as a "craft beer inn" with brewing equipment inside the lobby, and its official information says it has more than 20 years of serving experience. The house-brewed staples are three varieties: "Plum Beer," "Alt," and "Klsch." Its signature beer is the plum beer made with Wakasa's specialty plum, Nishiida ume, making the inn's local identity especially clear. In addition, these beers are generally served only on-site from in-house taps, and the policy of not selling them in cans or bottles is also explicitly stated.
After a cycling ride, ending the day with a drink you can only have in that place. The appeal of this "commemorative" plan lies in turning that flow into a complete lodging experience. For beer lovers, this may well become a reason to visit Wakasa whether or not they join the event.
