Recommended Facilities for Dates in Ebisu

Ebisu Garden Place

Famous for the clock tower featured in “Hana Yori Dango”!

Ebisu Garden Place is a commercial complex that includes various shops, a movie theater, an art museum, and restaurants. It has been used as a filming location for numerous TV dramas, including “Hana Yori Dango.”

The key feature of this facility is that it prevents your dates from becoming monotonous.

Additionally, it’s convenient for dinner dates after work. During the winter season, you can enjoy the illuminations on the premises, making it a perfect date spot for those seeking ambiance.

Tokyo Photographic Art Museum

The Tokyo Photographic Art Museum is located within Ebisu Garden Place.

It’s an independent building next to the Garden Place Tower, marked with the label “TOP MUSEUM” on the windows. Use this as a guide.

With exhibitions focused on photography and experiences featuring cutting-edge visual expressions, you can enjoy a touch of the extraordinary.

It’s a great recommendation for stylish couples wanting to immerse themselves in art.

Since closing hours vary by day, it’s also possible to enjoy a date here after work, depending on the timing.

Yebisu Beer Museum

This facility is located within Ebisu Garden Place and offers free admission.

Inside, you’ll find a copper kettle that was used in the factory until 1987—a must-see exhibit.

Most of the facility is open for free exploration.

Additionally, for a fee of ¥500, you can join the “Yebisu Tour,” where brand communicators guide you through a factory tour.

This approximately 40-minute tour concludes with a tasting session of beer (or soft drinks for non-drinkers) and light snacks, making it a great option for couples.

You can sign up at the facility’s tour counter or through the website. As spots are limited, reserving in advance on the website ensures a smooth experience.

Ebisu Garden Place Tower Observation Space “SKY LOUNGE”

The “SKY LOUNGE” observation space on the 38th floor of the Ebisu Garden Place Tower offers free admission. Here, you can enjoy stunning views of Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Skytree, and Roppongi Hills.

While the daytime scenery is beautiful, the nighttime view is highly recommended.
The lights inside are dimmed in the evening, creating a perfect atmosphere for romantic dates.

The dim lighting and open space set the mood for a private world shared just between the two of you.

Ebisu Green Garden (ebisu green garden)

Experience nature in the heart of the city

Located on the rooftop of Atré Ebisu, a commercial facility directly connected to Ebisu Station, this nature-rich date spot is a hidden gem.

The main building and west wing are connected via an indoor passage, but the rooftop garden is located in the main building. If coming directly, aim for the main building from the East Exit of Ebisu Station.

The Ebisu Green Garden features a wooden deck pathway surrounded by grass, making it a great spot for couples looking to enjoy nature without leaving the city.

Why not grab a camera and enjoy a weekend outing here?

Westin Garden

Feel like staying at a luxury hotel

The Westin Garden is located within the Westin Hotel Tokyo. The entrance is to the left of the hotel’s main façade. It’s free to enter and open to non-hotel guests.

Known for its “beautiful views from any angle,” the Westin Garden immerses visitors in nature, making it easy to forget you’re in the middle of the city.

This space offers a different way to enjoy nature compared to Ebisu Green Garden, making it ideal for a stroll-like date.
