Yebisu Garden Place, High-rise building complex in Ebisu, Japan
Yebisu Garden Place Ichibankan is a 32-story high-rise that combines residential units, retail shops, restaurants, offices, and a photography museum under one roof. The mixed-use design brings living, dining, shopping, and culture together in a single complex.
The complex was built on the site of the former Yebisu Beer brewery, which operated starting in 1890 and gave the Ebisu district its name. This development transformed industrial ground into a modern mixed-use space.
The Yebisu Brewery Museum displays exhibitions about Japanese beer production through traditional brewing methods and industry development. Visitors can see how this craft influenced the local area and its identity.
The building connects directly to Ebisu Station through the Yebisu Skywalk, providing seamless access to the JR Yamanote Line and other railway services. This link makes it easy for visitors to navigate between the complex and the broader transit network.
The structure won both the BCS Prize and AIJ Prize for its architectural design, leading to its selection among Japan's 100 notable urban landscapes. These honors reflect the building's impact on the city's modern skyline.

Tokyo offers photographers a wide range of subjects, from centuries-old temples to modern skyscrapers and maintained gardens. The city combines traditional Japanese architecture with contemporary urban design, creating environments that shift throughout the day. Sites like Senso-ji Temple in Taito and Meiji Shrine in Shibuya present religious structures amid urban settings, while Tokyo Skytree in Sumida and Tokyo Tower in Minato provide elevated city views. The city's different districts showcase varied aspects of Japanese culture. Harajuku and Akihabara Electric Town in Chiyoda represent modern youth culture and technology, while Omoide Yokocho in Shinjuku offers a glimpse of postwar dining alleys. Parks including Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Yoyogi Park, and Chidorigafuchi Park provide seasonal photo opportunities, particularly during cherry blossom season. Shibuya Crossing demonstrates urban movement, Nakameguro Canal offers waterway perspectives, and locations like Hamarikyu Gardens and Imperial Palace East Gardens show traditional Japanese landscaping. From the observation decks of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower and Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building to the street scenes of Takeshita Street and Ginza District, Tokyo serves different photographic interests.
