Brewery • Yugawara (Fukuura, near Manazuru)
About this place
Humans Beer is a working craft brewery, not a bar that happens to serve interesting beer. The distinction matters: what’s on tap is what they brew here, in the Fukuura area at the eastern end of Yugawara-machi, overlooking Sagami Bay. The address is technically Yugawara-machi, but the brewery is a 12-minute walk from Manazuru Station - not the onsen district - which is worth knowing before you plan the logistics.
The taproom is open on weekends only, from eleven in the morning. The bottle shop keeps broader hours - most weekdays from ten to four, and weekends from ten to six - so bottle purchases do not require a Saturday visit. The taproom itself has ocean views: the brewery is elevated above the bay, and this is accurate rather than aspirational.
For visitors already planning time in Yugawara, Humans Beer works as a weekend afternoon addition, particularly if you are coming from or going toward Manazuru. For visitors whose primary focus is the onsen district, this is a separate trip. Plan accordingly.

Where our sources disagree
Data notes
These are points where the platforms and official pages we consulted gave us conflicting information.
- Location: Fukuura is within Yugawara-machi municipal boundaries but is the fishing-village coastal end of the town, not the onsen district. Nearest station is Manazuru (JR Tokaido), not Yugawara. A taxi from Yugawara Station is the most direct option if you are based in the onsen district.
