Did you know that there is a 1:1 scale replica of the world-famous #Shibuya Scramble intersection that can be rented by TV and film productions located 80 km northwest of Tokyo in the city of #Ashikaga? The real intersection is so busy that nobody can close it down for controlled filming.

This set was notably used in the hit Japanese TV series Alice in Borderland.

Why is Ebisu named after a beer? Why does the beer spell "Ebisu" with a "Y"? And why did it take so long for a real brewery to return to the beating heart of Tokyo beer culture? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/06/01/food-drink/lee-food-ebisu-beer-neighborhood-culture/
