In-House Nursery
The Sapporo Group has been making efforts to create an environment in which everyone can exhibit their full potential. As one facet of this operation, an in-house nursery opened in April 2017 within the Ebisu Garden Place. The nursery operates on a "consortium-type" model, catering to multiple companies. The nursery is not limited to the Sapporo Group, but also extends its support to childcare-phase employees of tenant companies residing in the Ebisu Garden Place Tower. Simultaneously, it addresses the issue of waiting-list children in the Shibuya ward, allowing local residents to utilize the facility.
