A Must-Visit on Your Tokyo Adventure!

​

​

When you're exploring Japan, can you really skip out on a refreshing glass of

crisp nama-biru (draft beer)?

Whenever I visit Japan, there's one place I always make sure to go to enjoy a crisp, cold draft beer:

a 'beer factory'!

In Tokyo, specifically in Fuchu City, you'll find the Suntory Beer Factory where you can enjoy

a fascinating factory tour and, of course, some fantastic draft beer.

Today, I'll be sharing all about the Musashino Suntory Beer Factory – a truly worthwhile stop on your Tokyo itinerary –

including the types of tours available, how to book, and even how to get there!

Musashino Suntory Beer Factory Tour Information

First up, let's explore the different types of tours they offer.

📍The tours are divided into two main types: a special tasting tour and a more

general factory tour. I've put together a simple table below to make it easy to understand.

If you're an adult looking for a standard experience, go for the ▶️ General Tour.

For those visiting with little ones,

you'll want to sign up for the ▶️ Family-Friendly Tour.

Both of these tours cost ~$6 per person.

However, if you're keen to explore some truly unique brews, you'll want to reserve the

▶️ 'Special Tasting Tour,' which includes a tasting of their Yamazaki Cask Aged beer.

While the cost is a bit higher at ~$19,

it promises a beer experience quite distinct from the usual!

How to Book Your Beer Factory Tour

Now, let's dive into how to reserve your spot

for a beer factory tour.

First things first, head over to the official Musashino Suntory Beer Factory website below.

Keep this in mind as you map out your travel plans!

Up next, it's time to fill in your detailed information for the booking.

The photos clearly show what you need to enter,

so just follow along there.

I'll specifically guide you through how to fill out the items that might seem a bit tricky.

When you book your tour,

you'll need to complete a pre-payment right then and there.

The process is similar to what you'd typically encounter for online payments.

Just enter your card number, cardholder name (in English),

card expiration date, and CVC.

Then, hit that blue 'Submit' button, and your payment will be complete!

Once all the steps are complete, you'll receive a reservation number,

and a confirmation email will also land in the inbox of the email address you provided!

How to Get to Musashino Factory

Lastly, I'll give you a quick rundown on how to get to the Musashino Suntory Beer Factory.

There are primarily two ways to get here:

You can take a shuttle from Bubaigawara Station,

or walk from Fuchuhommachi Station.

For those coming from Shinjuku Station or nearby areas,

it's more convenient to use the shuttle from Bubaigawara.

📍 For shuttle boarding instructions, head out from Bubaigawara Station,

walk towards the arcade on your right,

and after descending the stairs, you'll find a bus rotary.

Simply wait for the shuttle bus

at the bus stop there.

The shuttle bus timetable is as shown in the photo.

Generally, the shuttle bus departs from Bubaigawara Station

30 minutes before the tour starts.

You can reach the factory in just 10 minutes!

Also, 20 minutes after your tour ends,

a shuttle will be available from the factory back to Bubaigawara Station,

so you can use it for your return journey to the city!

Today, I’ve introduced you to everything about the

Musashino Suntory Beer Factory — a must-visit spot on your Tokyo adventure!

from tour types and booking methods to how to get there.

Since you can enjoy a refreshing draft beer right on site,
