Sapporo Beer Museum
If you are here for the beer, which is possible because Sapporo
beer is known throughout the world, then a visit to the beer museum
in the historic Sapporo Brewery building is a must, together with a
tour of the brewery itself, which, of course, ends with a tasting.
The red brick brewery building has been home to the Sapporo Beer
Company, third-largest beer producer in Japan, since 1876. One-hour
tours are conducted at 15-minute intervals every day throughout the
year; however these are in Japanese only. It is possible to book in
advance and request an English interpreter.
Information & Facts
Admission
Free; a fee is charged for tasting
Language
Japanese is the official language. Most Japanese people
will have studied English at school, but few can speak it well or
understand what is said to them.
Money
The currency is the Japanese Yen (JPY), which is equal to 100
sen. Major credit cards are accepted in the larger hotels and
stores, but most Japanese operate with cash. Cash and travellers
cheques can be exchanged in banks, post offices and currency
exchange bureaux. Banks are usually open Monday to Friday 9am to
3pm. Travellers cheques offer the best exchange rate and are best
taken in US dollars. ATMs do not accept all credit and debit cards;
only the international ATMs in post offices, airports and some
major stores.
Opening Times
Monday to Friday 9am-6pm.
