Don’t quickly look at the name and consider that this Muroran shore excursion only relates to Sapporo beer. More than this, you will have a chance to stroll along the windy Sapporo Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill which offers a wonderful bird-eye view of the whole city. Then hop on a drive through Former Hokkaido Government Office Building to stop at Sapporo Clock Tower. Last but not less, explore the Sapporo Beer Museum to learn about the process to make a savory glass of beer.
FULL ITINERARY
Ship arrival
Your English-speaking guide will meet you at Muroran cruise port with a warm welcome. Board a comfortable, air-conditioned coach and begin your Muroran shore excursion with Shore Excursions Asia, exploring Sapporo’s most iconic landmarks.
Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill
Feel the fresh breeze as you stroll along this scenic hilltop, offering sweeping views over Sapporo city. Pause at the statue of Dr. William Clark, the pioneering figure in Hokkaido’s development, for memorable photographs against a backdrop of open skies and cityscape.
Former Hokkaido Government Office Building (Red Brick Building)
Step into Hokkaido’s past as you explore this grand, red-brick architectural gem. Inside, discover exhibits and documents that tell the story of the island’s history. Outside, enjoy a walk through its landscaped gardens, vibrant with seasonal blooms and lush greenery.
Sapporo Clock Tower
Visit one of Sapporo’s most beloved symbols. On the first floor, learn about the building’s origins and the city’s development. Upstairs, the preserved clock and ceremony hall evoke the charm of the colonial American Midwest.
Ohori Park
Relax in Japan’s most beautiful water park, once a defensive moat for Fukuoka Castle. Wander along scenic paths, admire the spacious gardens, and browse nearby boutiques or the large shopping department store for local finds.
Sapporo Beer Museum
Conclude your shore excursion with a visit to this historic museum dedicated to one of Japan’s oldest and most famous beer brands. Discover the brewing process, explore exhibits on Sapporo Beer’s legacy, and, if you wish, sample a freshly poured glass in a vintage-style beer hall filled with lively conversation.
