The north view from Ebisu Garden Place Tower

The location of Ebisu is 6km south west away from Tokyo station. There used to be very large Japanese beer factory “Ebisu Beer” there. But Sapporo Beer, the owner company of Ebisu beer factory decided to move the factory function from there and a vast land was generated in the middle of Tokyo city. “Ebisu Garden Place” was created in 1994 by utilizing the land to produce a modern business and commercial complex.

恵比寿は東京駅から6km南西に位置しています。かつて、ここには「エビスビール」のビール工場がありましたが、エビスビールのオーナーであるサッポロビールが、製造工場の機能をここから移転することを決断し、東京の一等地に広大な工場跡地が生まれました。「恵比寿ガーデンプレイス」は、その工場跡地を利用して1994年にできた複合商業施設です。

While the main building is “Ebisu Garden Place Tower” which is a 167 meters high (40 stories ground/ 5 stories basement) skyscraper, this place is not designed with one single sky scraper, but various facilities, such as department store, museum, restaurants and others. The land utilization is very spacious because the base land is very large.
