The annual Yebisu Garden Place winter illuminations. The Baccarat chandelier on display in the Center Plaza is one of the largest in the world, measuring approximately 5 meters tall and 3 meters wide, with 8,472 crystal pieces and 250 lights. It is said that creating these 250 lights required the skill of approximately 70 skilled artisans and 5,380 hours of work. This year's highlight is the world's first champagne bar, "Baccarat ETERNAL LIGHTS Champagne Bar with TAITTINGER," located adjacent to the chandelier. The bar counter, decorated with Baccarat crystal tiles by French interior designer Jacques Grange, evokes the artistic world of Baccarat.
