There is "murmur biiru stand" near the world heritage area where Nikko Toshogu and others are located.
There is a distillation tank deep inside the store and you can enjoy the owner's special beer.
As many local people use it, you may hear the recommendation information of Nikko.
It's great to stop by on your way as Wi-fi is fully equipped and you can charge your smartphone in the store.
As the owner can speak English, how about asking about beer and Nikko?

Closed: Wednesday/ Thursday (There are other temporary closures)
Access: 20 mins walk from Tobu Nikko Station, 6 mins bus (1 min walk after stopping at 7th Shinkyo bus stop)
