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.
