Located in Tokyo's Shibuya district, Ebisu station (恵比寿駅, Ebisu-eki) is a veritable crossroads of history, culture and modernity. Inaugurated in 1901 as a freight station, it takes its name from the famous Yebisu brewery that stood nearby. Over the years, it has evolved into a major transportation hub, serving several important lines in Tokyo's rail network. The gateway to a dynamic, trendy district, Ebisu station is now much more than just a transit station: it's the beating heart of a constantly evolving neighborhood.

Another major point of interest is the Yebisu Garden Place, a modern complex built on the former site of the Yebisu brewery. Accessible from the station via the Sky Walker, a long covered conveyor belt, this complex houses luxury boutiques, high-end restaurants, a cinema and green spaces. It is also home to the famous three-star restaurant "Le Château de Joël Robuchon".

For lovers of history and beer, the Yebisu Beer Museum offers a fascinating insight into the history of this beverage in Japan. Located a 10-minute walk from the station's west exit, this museum offers free tours and a tasting room for a fee.

For a more upscale experience, Yebisu Garden Place offers a number of fine restaurants, including the famous "Le Château de Joël Robuchon". Beer lovers can head to the Beer Station Yebisu, where they can sample seven different varieties of the famous local brew.

Nightlife in Ebisu is less frenetic than in neighboring districts such as Shibuya, but offers a more relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere. Numerous trendy bars and elegant lounges dot the area, attracting both local and international clientele.
