The design of the light fittings hails
from the gaslight era,

The Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum’s Café 1894 is located in the hall
originally occupied by the banking department.
The area has been recreated as faithfully as possible with the aid
of photographs believed to date from the building’s completion in 1894,
as well as blueprints, drawings, and extant structural components.
The high ceiling of the open two-story space
is supported by six columns;
their ornate capitals took three stone carvers
six months to complete.
The café interior features a wooden
coffered ceiling and pine flooring.
Enjoy a pause for refreshments at Café 1894
and catch glimmers of a bygone era
through the windowpanes.
Café 1894 is located on the first floor of the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum,
at the street corner. When walking from any of the nearby stations,
look for the high-rise Marunouchi Park Building next door,
which has brown latticed sides.
If you are coming to the café only, please note that the entrance is on the outer side of the building, not in the courtyard where the museum entrance (Park Side Gate) is located. Please use the stairs indicated by a small brown “Open” sign.
