Ebisu Garden Place at Night
Near Ebisu station is Ebisu Garden Place area (恵比寿ガーデンプレイス), a bit less crowded than the rest of central Tokyo it’s a favorite place for people my age. Finished in 1994 it has restaurants, cafes, hotels (the Westin, for example), offices, outdoor areas and parks in a fabulous combination and is quite popular with people in their 30s and 40s. Ebisu is the more sedate and classy version of the little-sister Shibuya, the station just next to Ebisu on the Yamanote line. I took these photos while waiting to meet friends the other night. I don’t get to blog too much about Ebisu, as the area tends to be overshadowed by nearby Shibuya and Harajuku stations but I’ll try to focus more on this station area for the coming summer!
Great night photos! I can’t wait to go to Tokyo to do some night photography.
Thank you! I think you’ll visit your wonderful little island though! (^-^)
Great photos …. question – what lens did you us?
Thank you! (^-^) I took these with a 17-35mm Nikon f2.8.
Cool! I didn’t think that the night time in Ebisu could be that cool!
Another great place to hang out in the night!
Thanks! Especially in the summer, the breeze is a little cooler here than in some other parts of town…!
I see. Actually I’m going to Tokyo on August 2nd. I wonder if I will be hot as well in the night time? but I hope not though..
Dear Randy, I think I can pretty much guarantee that it will be very very hot when you arrive in Tokyo! Even night times! (^-^;) Bring plenty of t-shirts!
Oh, I see. well it may be that hot there, but I’ll still enjoy my vacation there. Thanks for the info!
God, it’s been 5 years since I’ve last been to Ebisu. Your photos kind of make me miss the atmosphere there.
Thank you for the comment! I hope you get a chance to come back and hang out soon! (^-^)
Nice job with the long exposures, they came out great!
Thanks Frank! It’s tricky with a handheld camera… (^-^;)
I can’t wait to go back to Japan and check out Ebisu. Looks quite nice.
Hurry up and come back! (^O^)
