- Build cooperative systems with related parties (police, fire department, JR, neighborhood, etc.)
- Ongoing crime prevention patrol and training
- Implementation of fire safety measures according to industry and business type
　> Common measures to reduce the risk of electrical fires for all tenants
　> Measures to reduce the risk of kitchen fires in food and beverage establishments, etc.
- Installing SOS stations to provide safety and peace of mind to neighboring residents during the nighttime. Resident security guards ensure the safety of individuals by helping to prevent crimes or accidents and make reports to the police and fire department as necessary.

Offering comfortable spaces

YEBISU GARDEN PLACE

Yebisu Garden Place was designed and is managed under the concept of “creation of a space which people who work, play or live in spend a luxurious time.” Furthermore, the “Yebisu Skywalk,” the moving sidewalk that connects the Yebisu Station with Yebisu Garden Place, features braille blocks.

SAPPORO FACTORY

Ever since the Sapporo Factory opened in 1993 as a large-scaled commercial complex featuring approximately 160 shopping, restaurants and amusement facilities, botanical displays are located throughout the facility and outside of the landmark, to create pleasant spaces for customers. Furthermore, we are gradually implementing facility enhancements that prioritize the safety of diverse customers, such as incorporating universal design into facilities like stair railings and installing "consideration spaces" in parking lots.

Preparation for unforeseen disasters

Both Yebisu Garden Place and Sapporo Factory are prepared for unforeseen disasters, with disaster prevention systems and earthquake countermeasures in place.

Seismic isolation device with a total weight of 1,350 tons that reduces the shaking caused by long-period seismic motion

We have installed the TMD^*1 type seismic isolation device called "D3SKY-L" (pronounced as "D-Sky-L") developed by Kajima Corporation on the rooftop of Ebisu Garden Place Tower. With a total weight of 1,350 tons, this device effectively reduces the shaking caused by long periods of seismic motion.
Ebisu Garden Place Tower is a structurally evaluated and Minister-certified building completed in 1994, ensuring high levels of safety. The installation of D3SKY-L has significantly reduced the amplitude and duration of any shaking that affects the building, ranging from large earthquakes, including long-period seismic motion, to small- and medium-sized earthquakes. This state-of-the-art seismic building provides even greater safety and peace of mind for all occupants. Simulations conducted using the seismic motion from the Great East Japan Earthquake have confirmed that the shaking in all directions is reduced by half.
