Sapporo City Tour

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.
