Sapporo Beer Museum
The Sapporo Beer Museum, housed in a red-brick former brewery building from 1890, traces the history of Sapporo Beer, the first brand of beer made in Japan, and Hokkaido's role in the country's brewing history. Visitors can walk through free historical exhibits and then pay for a tasting session of different Sapporo beer varieties, some exclusive to the museum, in the on-site beer hall.
It's a straightforward stop for beer enthusiasts or anyone curious about Japan's brewing history, easily combined with a meal at the attached beer hall serving Hokkaido's famous Genghis Khan grilled lamb dish.
