Discover the Tranquil Experience at Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum

Tokyo Station Hotel, located within the historic Marunouchi area, is offering an exclusive dining plan paired with a guided building tour of the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum. This historic museum serves as a prime example of the area's rich heritage, having been the first office building constructed in Marunouchi back in 1894.

A Morning of Art and History

The highlight of this plan is a serene visit to the museum before opening hours, allowing guests to explore the beautiful yet quiet museum spaces. Led by knowledgeable staff, you'll delve into the fascinating history of the museum and its architectural wonders. Each tour is an opportunity to appreciate the historical landscape of Marunouchi, a unique blend of tradition and modernity that reflects Tokyo’s vibrant past.

The exclusive morning breakfast buffet at the Atrium Lounge beckons guests with more than 100 delectable items, showcasing seasonal ingredients and chef-selected delicacies from all over Japan. The buffet is particularly praised, making it a compelling reason to stay overnight. For those who wish to learn about the station's historical context, a lunch plan is also available at either the fine dining restaurant, Brasserie Rouge, or the Café & Bar Camellia, complete with a guided tour of special areas usually reserved for hotel guests.

Both dining experiences include tickets to the upcoming exhibition titled "Twilight, New Printmaking – From Kobayashi Kiyochika to Kawase Hasui," running from February 19 to May 24, 2026. Each plan is limited to just 15 guests per event, ensuring a personalized experience.

The Grandeur of Mitsubishi Ichigokan

Mitsubishi Ichigokan, designed by renowned architect Josiah Conder, exemplifies red-brick architecture reflecting the grandeur of the Meiji era. The current structure has been faithfully restored according to Conder's original designs, using preserved materials wherever possible. It stands not just as a museum but as a testament to the craftsmanship and architectural innovation of its time.

The events of 2026 promises to be extraordinary, especially with the temporary exhibitions that will draw upon the museum’s impressive collection alongside artifacts from the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Asian Art. This provides an insightful overview of the influence of landscape printing and the transition of Japanese art through history.
