I visited this pub when I was staying with a friend who was stationed over at one of the local airbases. The Rising Sun is a quaint place with a lot of old world charm that you aren't going to find back in the States. They ere very friendly and welcoming to us "yanks" and that made my night right there. The bar area itself is rather small but they have everything you would need for a great night including a good beer selection. They do have a karaoke night, which seems to be a community sort of event. I thought the Japanese loved karaoke but the English were having a blast.
I think they had some sort of courtyard in the rear but I didn't check it out at all. Parking is on the street but the place is in a small village so you can walk anywhere really. They have darts and a pool table in a separated room that connects with the bar. The prices were also very reasonable. read more
