Akita Castle Hotel (Nakadori, Akita City) is opening its rooftop beer garden for the season from May 28 (Thursday) through September 18 (Friday), 2026. This year's lineup introduces a new unlimited-drink option alongside the existing course plans, giving guests more flexibility in how they enjoy the setting.
Three Plans to Choose From
Three plans are available this year, catering to different preferences and group sizes.
The new Free Flow Plan offers drinks only — no advance reservation required — making it easy to drop in on the day. Guests can pair drinks with items from the à la carte menu, which has been expanded to 12 dishes this year.
The Basic Plan combines a 5-dish course with a 2-hour all-you-can-drink option, priced at ¥6,000 per person. The menu changes twice during the season (May–June, July, and August–September), so repeat visitors can enjoy something different each time.
The Ladies' Plan, available every Tuesday and Sunday for women only, requires advance booking by the previous day and includes a 9-dish special course with unlimited drinks, also priced at ¥6,000 per person.
The venue on the 4th-floor rooftop has 232 seats in total, including table seats, sofa seats, and counter seats — accommodating solo visitors and large groups alike.
Early-Bird Discount at Opening
An early-bird campaign runs from opening day (May 28) through June 14 (Sunday). During this period, the Basic Plan is available for ¥5,500 per person — ¥500 off the regular price. Advance tickets at the same discounted rate are sold at the 1F front desk from May 11 (Monday), valid for use from June 16 to September 18.
Guests who book in advance by 8:00 PM the previous day receive unlimited drink time, regardless of which plan they choose.
