Yebisu Garden Place in Ebisu 4-chome, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, holds the illumination event "Baccarat ETERNAL LIGHTS" from Saturday, November 14, 2026 to Monday, January 11, 2027 (a national holiday), on the theme "Into the Light" (ひかりの中へ。). On opening day, Saturday, November 14, a lighting ceremony starts at 5:00 PM, where visitors light one of the world's largest chandeliers together.
At the ceremony, the "Baccarat Chandelier," the Christmas tree, and the illuminations around the area all light up at once. The instrumental band カルモニカ from Calmera also performs a special live set. The rhythmic music and the light of the Baccarat chandelier mark the start of the holiday season.
The "Christmas Marché" (クリスマスマルシェ), inspired by European Christmas markets and crowded with visitors every year, returns at two venues, Clock Square (時計広場) and Chateau Square (シャトー広場). Visitors can shop for Christmas items from around the world and warm winter goods such as mufflers and gloves, and enjoy a holiday menu from The Westin Tokyo food truck. The music event "GOOD MUSIC TERRACE by BLUE NOTE PLACE" is also held, offering drinks and food along with music.
Yebisu Garden Place lights the chandelier again this year, out of a wish to bring hope and smiles to more people.

YEBISU BREWERY TOKYO: Rails of Time (レイルズ オブ タイム)

A beer created together with JR East to mark the 120th anniversary of the start of passenger service at Ebisu, Harajuku, and Yoyogi stations. It pays homage to an early Showa-era train diagram, something that train operation and beer brewing have in common. As in the Meiji era when the stations were built, it uses leaf hops, which are not processed with extra heat (used in part), for a beer that transcends time and culture.
The beer is replaced by the next limited beer once it sells out.
