Great tour which is accessible to all languages and very fun and interactive. Firstly, this place is about a 15 minute walk in the sun from the train station. They do have a bathroom available in the lobby in case you sweat up a storm Once you get there you have to sign in (assuming you made a reservation online which is quite easy, even in English). It is free and includes an hour long tour with 3 full beer pours afterwards. They provide an audio guide to help people follow along in other languages (very easy to use and no headphones needed). The tour itself is very fun and interactive. Best tour of its kind that I've seen (better visuals and more interactive than Asahi and Miller). After the tour, two Kirin restaurants are very close by. SVB is good if you want more beer as they specialize in craft Kirin beer.

Note that you may want to book the tour far in advance. Almost all tours for the next three weeks are fully booked already (early August).
