Hotels near Yebisu Garden Place

Every winter, the Centre Square of Yebisu Garden Place hosts a giant Baccarat crystal chandelier under its glass canopy. The display, known as Baccarat Eternal Lights, uses thousands of crystal pieces and is one of the largest chandeliers the French glassmaker has produced. It usually appears from early November until early January, alongside a decorated Christmas tree and lights along the walkways.

The complex was built on the site of the old Yebisu beer brewery, and the beer brand still runs a small brewery and tasting space on site. Ebisu itself is a quieter, more grown-up neighbourhood than Shibuya, with good izakaya and ramen shops in the streets west of the station.

Pro Tip: Visit after 17:00, when the chandelier is lit against the dark sky, and look up from directly underneath for the best view of the crystals. Weekday evenings are far less crowded than weekends.
