What other travelers are saying about Sapporo Beer Museum
Great place! You’ll learn about the history and how Japan’s best commercial beer is made. After the tour, you can grab a combo of three different beers for a great price.
The only downside is that you might get a bit tipsy in the afternoon.
The museum is quiet and nice to spend a small amount of time at if you have nothing else to visit for the day.
It is free to enter and read about the history of the place.
There is no need for an entrance fee at all.
You only need to pay if you want the guided tour.when we visited around late afternoon, they had no more slots for the guided tour, so we went ahead just by ourselves and there were already lots to read about.
They have English, Mandarin, Korean and Japanese information to read at the museum.
After the museum, you can choose to buy the beers and snacks to have a drink , or visit the souvenir shop and leave after that.
It is overall not very big but a nice place to visit if you enjoy drinking beer.
Only in japan. Every place is worth a visit. Because of the way they preserve their culture and tradition. Their ability to make every little thing eye-catching and attract your attention. Every tourist attraction gives you a unique impression of how people live in the past to the present. Like this place, even if it's small but the impact will remain in your mind a great impression.
The entrance is free. But once inside, they offer a premium tour (paid guided tour). But because I am not a beer drinker and we have another itinerary for that day. So just buy some souvenirs and gone...
You can learn so much about how this famous Japanese beer brand started its business. There are guided tours with a fee and non-guided tours for free. For the guided tours you need to book in advance. Otherwise it might be sold out very quickly. We couldn’t find any guided tours so we just went around by ourselves which was also pretty fun and teaching. By the end of the tour, you can have some good Sapporo beers, snacks, and souvenirs.
The Sapporo Beer Museum is a must-visit when in Sapporo. The free exhibit is informative and provides great insights into the brewery’s history, but I highly recommend taking the paid tour for a more immersive experience. Not only do you get a deeper understanding of the brewery’s heritage, but you also get to sample exclusive beers that aren’t available elsewhere. The souvenir shop, though small, offers some unique and interesting items to bring home. To complete the experience, I suggest dining at the Beer Garden afterward — it’s the perfect way to enjoy a meal paired with their iconic beer. A fantastic spot for beer enthusiasts and history buffs alike!
