My partner being a bit of a beer nut was very excited to go to the beer museum, unfortunately, we missed out on going through the tour and decided to go to, at the very least, the Beer Hall for dinner. Once getting there, we were told there was an hour wait (in a fragmented charades game of understanding each... More

The whole museum can be covered in less than an hour. Unfortunately, there were no English audio guides or tours available. The exhibitions aren't labelled in English that well either. But it was interesting to browse the old photos, memorabilia, and past and present bottles and cans of Sapporo beers. The best part of the museum visit is at the... More

I'm not a big beer guy, but I sometimes visit beer factories during my travels. The Sapporo Beer Museum is free, so that is great; it has a good bus connection, too. To get the most out of it, a person needs a knowledge of Japanese of a friend who translates because most of the information is in Japanese. Overall,... More

Sadly when we went it was closed...even though we had checked on the times and it was supposed to be opened. Not sure what happened but other people were very disappointed too.

I was disappointed that the descriptions were mostly in Japanese, with no English translations so I could only try to decipher what the pictures are telling me. It would have been an interesting history lesson. You can get an English leaflet at the entrance but it only provides a short summary of the history of Sapporo Beer. The museum exhibits... More

We visited the Beer Museum during the Snow Festival, mainly to get out of the cold for a little bit. Getting to the museum is very easy, there is a 88 Loop Bus that drops you off right at the door for only 200 yen. I wouldn't recommend walking unless it's a nice day. When we went it was absolutely... More

I went here during the Snow Festival for a look. The lady at reception told us there were no tours available in English and that we could walk through the museum ourselves instead (free of charge). The museum has old Sapporo bottles and signs that are interesting to look at, but I would have enjoyed the museum more if there... More

I was more interested in going to the brewery instead but since it was a 30 minute train ride away we came here. It is very interesting and has lots of cool artifacts. At the end of the tour, you go to the tasting room and for 500 yen is a 3 beer sampler. They give you the standard Sapporo... More

Although it is all in Japanese we were able to understand most of it through pictures and artifacts.
