Ebisu

Ebisu is a residential neighborhood in Tokyo situated between Shibuya and Meguro, blending housing, shops, office buildings, and parks throughout its area. The district spreads across several blocks with varied elevations and infrastructure connecting different zones, from quieter streets to busier commercial sections.

The neighborhood took shape in the late 1800s when a brewery was established, drawing workers and spurring growth. The factory anchored the area for decades until the site was redeveloped into a modern leisure complex.

The name Ebisu comes from the former brewery that once defined the neighborhood's character. Today, locals and visitors move through shops and restaurants that line the streets, showing how the district transformed from industrial to leisure-focused.

The neighborhood is accessed through Ebisu Station on the JR Yamanote Line and Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, offering quick connections across the city. Visitors can walk easily through the area to explore shops and restaurants in different sections.

Where the old brewery once stood now rises Yebisu Garden Place, a large complex housing a beer museum, shops, and restaurants. The observation area here offers views that remind visitors of the site's industrial past alongside modern Tokyo.
