Tokyo beer enthusiasts and people who simply want to see and experience one of the most spectacular attractions in the world should not miss the World Beer Museum, located on the seventh floor of the Tokyo Solamachi commercial building, attached to Tokyo Skytree in Tokyo’s Sumida Ward.

The World Beer Museum is far more than just a museum of world beers. It is also one of Japan’s most spectacular pubs–actually, it is several pubs in one, including a German pub, a Belgian pub and a British pub.

Operated by World Liquor Importers, these pubs sell more than 500 varieties of beer from around the world, along with a wide variety of ethnic foods from Germany, Belgium and so forth. Employees of the pubs are dressed in European costumes and trained to add to the ambiance of this extraordinary place. An attached store sells some 40 varieties of limited-edition beers, including a signature Skytree label.
