The very first office building to be constructed in Marunouchi-Mitsubishi Ichigokan-was completed in 1894.

The structure will reopen as Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum on April 6, 2010. As a precursor to this brilliant event, the "Itcho London (One Mile London) and Marunouchi Style" exhibition will be held on September 3, 2009, commemorating the completion of the Mitsubishi Ichigokan building.
