A big red star always welcomes you at the entrance and you will find the big four stories of beer barrel wall. There is something written in Japanese on the barrels. These letters are read for the left-below-ward, “Managing Barley and Hop, it is going to be a drink made from beer.” The barrels’ wall was restored to its original state of the Meiji era. Sapporo Beer Garden and Sapporo Beer Museum are located in the east of Sapporo urban area. This is the biggest beer hall in Sapporo and the museum is next.

This is the only museum of beer in Japan, the museum opened in 1987 that is the former building of Sapporo fine sugar company built in 1890.
