What other travelers are saying about Sapporo Beer Museum
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!
Sapporo Brewery is a great visit, even if you don’t drink. The museum does a solid job of showcasing the history of Hokkaido and the old brick buildings add to the atmosphere. The vintage ads and exhibits are interesting, and the guided tours give extra insight. If you do drink, the tasting options are a bonus, but even without that, it’s a cool spot to learn about Japan’s beer culture.
Sapporo Beer Museum is worth a visit, even if you’re not a beer drinker. Entrance is free anyway and doable in less than an hour. There’s a bar near the end of the attraction. A glass of draft beer costs around ¥400 à la carte and ¥1k per bundle of three. You’ll appreciate their take on the beverage and its impact on the region and Japanese culture.
