Snow Brand Megmilk Museum and Sapporo Factory
From Historic Pioneer Tools to the Modern Production Line
Explore the rich heritage of Hokkaido’s dairy farming since 1977 and see modern milk production in action at this engaging facility in Naebo, just a short walk from Sapporo Station.
Stepping into the exhibition hall, you are greeted by about 1,000 precious artifacts, including massive butter churns used during the pioneer era. Guided tours led by expert staff bring these displays to life, allowing visitors to trace the deep, enduring connection between local people and the dairy products that nourish them.
The experience continues at the adjacent Sapporo Factory, where you can observe the milk production line through large glass windows. The rhythmic sounds of machinery and the sight of fresh products moving swiftly through the pristine facility provide a firsthand look at the precision of modern dairy technology.
To wrap up your visit, stop by the unique Katsugen Shrine. Named after "Katsugen," a beloved Hokkaido-exclusive lactic acid drink, this shrine is a popular spot for those praying for success and victory. It offers a meaningful glimpse into the history of a brand that remains a household favorite across the region.
