The building is a faithful recreation of the original Mitsubishi Ichigokan which stood on the same location.
Originally completed in 1894 and designed by British architect Josiah Conder, the building was torn down in 1968. The construction company responsible for the current incarnation used portions of the original plans and materials used at the time of the original construction. The new building, built out of red brick and cast concrete, have three stories above ground and two stories below. - Wikipedia
I found this great video today called Soothing Glimpses of Tokyo from Sugoi on Vimeo. I really can’t wait for hanami season now!
“I love Japan, this was my 5th time there. I was there for a month and enjoyed it immensely as always. I stayed with my awesome Japanese friends! Tokyo is amazing and I find new places to explore every time I’m there. There are lovely places to relax and other places that excite the senses! It’s a wonderful mix of it’s ancient past & the future the rest of world will see in it’s own time.
Enjoy ” -Sugoi
