Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower
A short indoor architecture visit to art and restored elements in the 1F atrium.
Look from the atrium first
A tower visit need not mean going to a high floor. Look for the Haru sculpture, restored stained glass and Historical Wall in the 1F atrium. The short visit asks how a modern office-and-hotel tower makes room for memories of older Nihonbashi.
WHERE · On foot from here
How far from the station, and which side
West of Mitsukoshimae Station, about 50 m in a straight line from the station point. The shaded areas are about 5 and 10 minutes on foot from here.
Read together
Walking bands are computed by FOW on the OpenStreetMap surface street network at 80 m/min and drawn as a smoothed approximate area around the streets reached. They ignore exit positions, station interiors, underground passages, signals, slopes and routes inside buildings — not directions; follow on-site signs.

The scope of the public entrance
The operator lists the main entrance as open daily 7:00–00:30. These are not hours for office floors, guest rooms or every restaurant. Mitsui Memorial Museum is on 7F of the adjacent Mitsui Main Building and is entered through this atrium. Check its exhibition and ticket conditions separately.
Finish at ground level
Give time first to whichever draws you: the Haru sculpture, restored stained glass or Historical Wall. Look at the others if you want more, then finish at ground level if you wish, without adding an exhibition or an upper-floor facility. For a long seated rest, choose a cafe separately.
