What other travelers are saying about Sapporo Beer Museum
Went for a quick tour last minute at 4:00pm and barely finished at 5:00pm to head over for a quick beer tasting near the exit of the exhibition. We didn’t get a private tour since it was last minute but you can book online ahead of time otherwise spots are filled up quickly! However the self tour was sufficient and informative so it was still very enjoyable to learn about Sapporo and their achievements throughout the years. We saw other exciting dinner spots we wished we had tried but were too full otherwise hot pot looked great!
First of all, you need to know that there are two kinds of visits you can do: the paid one and the free one. For the paid one you’ll need to book in advance and I am not certain if they also offer those in English. That one also include exclusive areas that the free one does not cover. It finishes with food and drinks with the tour guide (as I could observe). The free one is just a walk around the facilities and some explanations about the brand, where you conclude in the beer hall where you can buy beer and snacks to have on-site. I went for the free one, which was enough and had the possibility to try three different types of beers from the brand. Spent aprox. 1 hour in there.
Lovely museum, well worth a visit when in Sapporo and especially if you like beer. The free self guided tour is short and interesting. It leads directly into the beer hall where you can try the different types of Sapporo including a taster set.
A great museum which encapsulates a huge part of history of not only Sapporo but Japan. It was so interesting finding out the history and how this world famous beer brand came about. The exhibition was well written and informative and is available in English, Japanese and Korean. There is a beer hall at the end where you can try various beers including a non alcoholic variation. It’s easy to get here via bus from the Sapporo city
it is quite famous place in Hokkaido to visit and see how the beer come to! you can enjoy 3 types of beer and go around to sightseeing. they also have some events like traditional dance of japanese.
