In a city that is better known for ultra-modern venues in sleek steel-and-glass skyscrapers, The Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum transports guests back to a more genteel time.
Concept Originally constructed in 1894 as the first Western-style office in Tokyo, the Mitsubishi Ichigokan building was rebuilt to the original plans in 2010 to exhibit art from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Situated in the swanky Marunouchi business district, just a five-minute walk from both Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace, the museum displays art from its own collection and hosts visiting exhibitions of works by Renoir, Gaugin, Pierre Bonnard and others.
MICE application The museum has recently introduced programmes for private events on site.
The Museum in the Morning option, for groups of 60 to 200 pax, costs 3,000 yen (US$27) per person. The Museum in at Night option enables groups of up to 300 pax to stroll among the exhibits and then have refreshments at Cafe 1894. This is priced at 3,500 yen per head. Private viewings with either a buffet lunch or dinner cost from 13,500 yen per pax.
Service Swift, precise and hassle-free. English-speaking staff are a major plus, and the location is ideal.
