[5th Anniversary] Yokohama Beer Bike Unveils Early Summer Tours Packed with Local Collaborations in Japan's Craft Beer Hub!

“Yokohama Beer Bike” was born in Yokohama, a city known for its dense concentration of craft breweries. Since its start in October 2021, the tour has reached its 5th anniversary, welcoming approximately 2,000 participants to date. With many repeat customers, the participant satisfaction rate is an astounding 98.7%. As a new experience set in the cityscape of Yokohama, it has gained national attention.

This autumn, Yokohama Beer Bike will host even more special collaboration tours! Offerings include the [Kiyoken Siumai Tour], where guests can taste Yokohama's famous Siumai while visiting breweries, and a collaboration with “Citadines Harbor Front Yokohama,” which opened in Nihon-odori in 2022. These special plans deliver local experiences unique to Yokohama.

■ What is a Beer Bike?
A “Beer Bike” is a “mobile beer counter” originally from the Netherlands, a nation of cyclists. In the “Beer Bike Tourism” project—the first of its kind in Japan—six passengers pedal while holding a beer, visiting Yokohama’s cityscapes and breweries. A guide navigates from the center, and a live performer plays music from the rear. It is a new sensation of tourism from Yokohama that unifies city scenery, music, and craft beer.
