Free and rarely crowded. Come at sunset, then walk the European-style square below, which hangs a giant Baccarat chandelier for its winter illuminations.
What the guides say about Yebisu Garden Place Tower
8. Yebisu Garden Place Tower. A free viewing space on the 38th and 39th floors that most visitors never hear about. The complex is a short walk from Ebisu station, on the site of the brewery that gave the area its name in the 1890s.
How to see it. Come at sunset, ride up to the free observation floors at Yebisu Garden Place Tower for the city view, then come down for the chandelier after dark. If you're staying for dinner, the Ebisu neighbourhood guide has ideas.
Ebisu, one Hibiya Line stop or a fifteen-to-twenty-minute walk, is the sensible answer for most visitors. It has the hotel supply Nakameguro doesn't, the best restaurant density on the south side, and both the Yamanote and Hibiya lines. Prince Smart Inn Ebisu at 3-11-25 Ebisu-Minami is a mid-range pick. Its official site puts it five minutes from the JR west exit and three from Hibiya Line exit 5, which is the side with Ebisu Yokocho, Afuri and Bar Trench. The Westin Tokyo at Yebisu Garden Place is the upscale anchor on the east side, beside the free view from Garden Place Tower. The Ebisu neighbourhood guide covers the evening.
