札幌工廠 / Sapporo Factory

札幌工廠為大型綜合商業設施，內有購物廣場、電影院、餐廳等設施。札幌工廠是由日本4大啤酒製造商之一的三寶樂啤酒(SAPPORO啤酒)集團所營運。1876年北海道首家啤酒工廠「開拓使麥酒釀造所(之後的三寶樂啤酒)」就建設於此地。而煙囪廣場就成為札幌工廠的象徵了。

Sapporo Factory is a commercial complex and it includes a shopping mall, a movie theater, and restaurants. A company affiliated with Sapporo Beer (one of the Japanese four giant beer makers) manages all the facilities. In 1876, the first beer brewery in Hokkaido - “Hokkaido Development Commission Brewery” was built on this site. The Entotsu Hiroba, which means the Chimney Square, is a landmark of Sapporo Factory. You can also enjoy the very high ceiling of the “Atrium", which the Factory is also famous for. With many places to sit and relax, Sapporo Factory is a good place to take a rest during sightseeing.
