This place is written as [サッポロビール千歳工場] in Japanese.

The Sapporo Beer Brewery is located in Eniwa City. The original factory was in Sapporo, where the Sapporo Factory and the Sapporo Beer Garden and Museum are now situated.

Visitors can enjoy a factory tour, but reservations are required in advance. The tours are conducted in Japanese, though some English-language guides are available. The tour lasts 30 minutes, followed by a 20-minute beer tasting session where visitors can sample up to two glasses of beer for free. Drivers and those under 20 years old are prohibited from tasting beer, but soft drinks are provided as an alternative. This tour is enjoyable for all ages, from young children to seniors.

The tour is available for groups of at least two people, but solo visitors can inquire with the staff, who may accommodate them if space permits. Even without a reservation, visitors might be allowed to join the tour if it isn’t full. Tours start at 10:00 AM and run once per hour. During the tour, visitors can see how Sapporo beer is made by observing the factory and its operations. On weekends and holidays, when the factory is closed, visitors will watch videos showing the factory in operation.
