About this spot
Just steps from Ebisu Station, Ebisu Yokocho is an indoor drinking alley created by renovating the site of the former public market, Yamashita Shopping Center. This retro space, which retains a nostalgic Showa-era look, is packed with nearly 20 distinctive eateries serving yakitori, kushikatsu, meat sushi, teppanyaki, snack bars, and more. The shops are very close to one another, and lively voices echo along the narrow passage between them, making it the very image of a good old Japanese yokocho alley. It is perfect for bar-hopping with friends, and the friendly atmosphere often gets neighboring customers talking. Visitors range from office workers after a day's work to trendy young people and tourists. Whether you drop in on your own to enjoy the old-town charm or spend a lively evening on a date, it suits every occasion. Be sure to experience this energetic food-entertainment space that symbolizes the Ebisu night.
