Fun museum with information provided in Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean. Perfect for beer enthusiasts and those just looking to learn more about Hokkaido history alike! The entrance was free, and there was also a free guided tour. The museum had a gift shop and the option to do a taste test.

Honestly, the museum itself didn’t have much to see, and most of the explanations were only in Japanese, so it wasn’t very foreigner-friendly. However, the beer tasting on the first floor is a must—super fresh, cold, and delicious. If you come here, definitely give the beer set a try. Low score as a museum, high score for the beer!

Tour is well laid out, and flows from start to finish. There is a beer tasting hall at the end with an exclusive Sapporo Bee...

I’m writing this review based on the free tour, as I didn’t book the premium one. The free tour you can just walk in and make your way to level 3. No need to queue for ticket .

You can finish the tour in about 10–15 mi...
