Toyohashi's summer tradition "Noryo Beer Tram" will be running the city streets again!!! Moreover, this year marks the 31st year since the tradition started. Board the refreshing tram with its festive decoration, drink the cold beer all the while watching the cityscape through the windows! ♪
The system is simple: The "Beer Tram" rides the same regular tram rails and is decorated outside and inside to resemble a "beer garden". Guests/passengers get aboard the streetcar, where a "Obento" meal box awaits them. The center of the tram floor is occupied by tables and, during the approx. 90 min. ride, the staff will keep pouring all-you-can-drink draft beer "Nama-biru". Departure is from the Toyohashi Station tram platform, then the car rides to Undokoen-mae stop for a toilet break (about 30 min.), from where it heads back to Toyohashi Station.
*: Commemorative merchandise and optional menu also available separately. Please consult.
