Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, Tokyo

ArchitectureArtOpen until 6pmSee website for pricingNijubashimae Station (Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line, Exit 1)

The Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum occupies a 2009 reconstruction of Japan's first Western-style office building, originally designed by British architect Josiah Conder and completed in 1894, then demolished in 1968. Reopened in 2010 (and again in November 2024 after a long maintenance closure), the museum has no permanent-collection galleries and instead stages rotating special exhibitions of 19th- and early 20th-century Western art, drawing on its own holdings of Toulouse-Lautrec and Odilon Redon works alongside major international loans. The historic Café 1894, in the building's former banking hall, is a destination in its own right.
