Ebisu Bridge, you’re such a beauty ! 😍
Outside of H&M is the Glico board. It lights up blue and orange at night.
Nice sunset
That's a Ferris wheel on top of the Don Quijote store. Go into the store and experience a visual  overload of products stacked from the bottom to top and occupying well over five floors. 

When you hit a certain price point and beyond as a tourist you can make your items tax free by showing your passport.

This place is huge and felt very overwhelming. The breakfast wasn’t cleverly good. I would stick to 7 eleven and it took forever to get up or down sometimes as the place was so big! The onsen was nice and the location was ok.

If you’re looking for Sushi then this is definitely the place to come, the freshness and taste of the fish were exquisite. The place is quite small only seating about 10 so you might have to wait but it’s definitely worth it, the tuna, eel, sea bream and mackerel were superb.
