The National Craft Beer Festival in Ichinoseki is a summer event in Ichinoseki, Iwate Prefecture that attracts craft beer enthusiasts from all over Japan in search of locally brewed beer.

Visitors can also enjoy a wide selection of dishes prepared by local restaurants using fresh ingredients from the Ichinoseki area. While the festival celebrates craft beer, the variety of food available also makes it an enjoyable event for families with children.
