Maach Ecute Kanda Manseibashi is conveniently located right next to Manseibashi over the Kanda River. Manseibashi Station, which was completed in 1912, was renovated and opened as a commercial facility approximately 100 years later. Manseibashi was a fetching red-brick station building, reminiscent of Tokyo Station, and it seems that it was crowded by many people. To keep the memory of its vibrant past alive, they took care to make minimal repairs to the original structure. This preservation effort was combined with modern concrete to create a striking contrast between old and new materials. In addition, the building was covered with glass along the river and the deck was installed. Even under the elevated tracks, you can spend a relaxing time in the open space that takes full advantage of the unique characteristics of the location.

The facility has many trendy shops, including accessory shops handling with the Louvre Museum and the Palace of Versailles, as well as restaurants offering craft beer. Additionally, there is an observation cafe where you can watch the trains coming and going up close, providing entertainment for visitors of all ages, from children to adults. With its captivating design, a variety of shops, and unique features, both the building and the shops are highly attractive. Be sure to stop by and experience it for yourself!
