Ebisu Garden Place: July 12, 2010

Ebisu Garden Place is a commercial and residential complex near JR Ebisu station. I visited there.


The complex was developed in a former beer factory (brewery) site owned by Sapporo Brewery about 15 years ago. The JR station and the Place is connected with Ebisu Sky Walk, a moving walkway.

There are office buildings, restaurants, stores, hotels, museums, cinemas and residential apartments in the complex. The central space was used for open-air markets today. Stalls sold vegetables and fruits as well as jam and drinks there.

Many foreign families were enjoying their holidays there.

I visited Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. An exhibition of news photos was held and many pictures of conflicts, lives were displayed.
