History
Sapporo Beer Teien Station (station number H11) is on the JR Hokkaido Chitose Line in Toiso, Eniwa, Hokkaido. It opened on 1 July 1990, taking its name from the Sapporo Breweries Hokkaido Brewery and its surrounding garden located in front of the station, together with a request from local residents. The Eniwa article notes that the Sapporo Beer Hokkaido Brewery was completed in 1989, the year before the station opened. Eniwa is a city in the Ishikari Subprefecture of western Hokkaido, sitting roughly midway between Sapporo and New Chitose Airport; it attained city status in 1970 (which simultaneously dissolved Chitose District), and is widely known as a "city of gardening", having received national-level awards for its citizen-led floral-town initiatives.

Notes
The Eniwa article confirms the station's namesake — the Sapporo Beer Hokkaido Brewery was completed in 1989 — and records that in 2001 the brewery itself received the Prime Minister's award for its contribution to greening promotion, one of several national honours that have earned Eniwa its "gardening city" reputation.
