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

Ghengis khan lamb you cook yourself and great beer! What more could you want! Great way to spend an afternoon in Sapporo.

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.

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.
