    2021年4月21日にアサヒビール工場内にオープンしたビール工場見学ツアーです。アサヒビールの全国8カ所の工場ではこれまでも工場見学ツアーを行っていて、福岡と神奈川で見学をしたことがありました。しかし、このスーパードライミュージアムはビールの試飲だけを目的とするような他の工場見学の一線を画し、ミュージアムの名に相応しいディスプレイで構成されています。特に、最初のシアターなどでの迫力ある動画、トンネ...

    Ibaraki Pref. Inashikigunamimachi Hoshinosato 22 Ami Eastern Industrial Park
    A factory located a five-minute drive from the Ami-higashi interchange on the Ken-O Expressway. The factory, opened in 2014, makes Megmilk Snow Brand dairy products such as processed cheeses and margarine. The factory makes some 200 varieties of products, making it the largest operated by Megmilk Snow Brand. Visitors can have fun here while learning about cheese and margarine, take commemorative photos using special photo sets, try a virtual reality experience which shows how cheese is made, and sample some of the company's products.

    町内会で予約、最新のチーズ工場見学をしました。2014年から稼働、ここで雪印のチーズやマーガリンを製造、全国に出荷してるそうです。初めに大型スクリーンで工場の概要を見てから見学しますが、ロボット導入で人がとても少なかったです。途中、VR(バーチャルリアリティ)体験、幼稚園の年長児くらいから楽しめそうです。最後にチーズの試食、売店でお買い物も出来ました。人気で予約が取りにくいようですがお勧めです。

    Ibaraki Pref. Moriyashi Nogisaki 3456

    ブルガリアヨーグルトやR-1などの生産ラインが見学できる施設です。明治乳業の会社説明や、乳酸菌の働き、カルシウムの大事さなどをレクチャーしてくれます。説明の主な対象は小学校高学年くらいな感じでしょうか。生産ラインの様子はやや遠めでしたが、なかなか興味深かったです。 売店や食堂などはないため、かなり純粋に見学、な印象です。

Just a stone’s throw from Tokyo, Ibaraki is a coastal prefecture that has mastered juxtapositions, where old shrines meet new scientific discoveries and traditional gardens are frequented by the inventors of some of the newest technology. Head to Mito City's Kairakuen - one of Japan's Three Great Gardens - in spring to experience the cellestial blooming of fantastic cherry blossoms at the annual sakura festival.
