I visited Yebisu Garden Place Tower recently and honestly it felt like one of those places people don’t talk about enough. The whole area has a relaxed, upscale vibe that’s very different from the busier parts of Tokyo.
The highlight for me was going up to the higher floors. The views are wide and open, and because it’s not as crowded as the famous observatories, you can actually take your time and enjoy it. If you come on a clear day or in the evening, the city looks beautiful from up there. It’s a great spot for a quiet date or just to unwind.
The building itself is very clean and well maintained. There are plenty of restaurants on the top floors, from casual dining to more upscale places. Prices are definitely on the higher side, but you’re paying for the atmosphere and the view, so it makes sense.
Getting there is pretty easy from Ebisu Station using the covered Skywalk, though the walk feels a bit long the first time. The surrounding plaza is also worth walking around, especially in the evening when the area lights up and feels almost European in style.
Pros
Great panoramic city views
Not overly crowded
Good restaurant selection
Clean and classy atmosphere
Nice area for an evening walk
Overall, I really enjoyed my visit. If you want a calm place in Tokyo with a great view and good food options, Yebisu Garden Place Tower is definitely worth checking out.
We visited Yebisu Garden Place specifically for the Christmas illuminations and it felt truly magical.
It was quite crowded, but the atmosphere was so festive and elegant that it was worth it.
Would recommend definitely going up to the 38th-floor Sky Lounge in the Garden Place Tower. It’s free to enter and offers a stunning panoramic view of the city and Tokyo Tower.
I stopped by Yebisu Garden Place Tower hoping to catch the sunset, and even though I missed the exact moment, the view was still beautiful. I liked that it’s free to go up since the building also has offices and restaurants, which made it an easy stop. It ended up being a really memorable little moment.
If you want to see a luxury entertainment complex and Christmas illumination, I will recommend you this place. Yebisu Garden Place Tower. This is also the Yebisu Beer Museum. This luxury complex has a luxury eternal baccarat chandelier. This is outdoor exterior and also has a tall Christmas tree indoor and outdoor. There are also shops, restaurants, and free observation deck. The Yebisu Skywalk is connected to the train station.
A lovely place to spend a evening with friends and family. Beautiful view of the winter illuminations and the main attraction as now (13-11-22) is the Baccarat Eternal lights with more than 1000s of crystals embedded in the 5m long chandelier. It’s just amazing to view and relax over the weekend. Museum of Ebisu beer is just right there but it’s closed for renovations until end of 2023.
