MI-Garden GINZA, located in metropolitan Tokyo, will provide visitors with a dedicated space to explore the Mitsubishi Motors vehicles and technologies that embody its brand message, and demonstrate how they can be incorporated into their lives. The 'M' in the center's name stands for Mitsubishi, while the 'I' is for intelligent, ingenious, inspiration and interaction. This naming aims at making MI-Garden GINZA a place that offers inspiration, new ideas and help expand one's field of possibilities through the medium of expertly designed vehicles to everyone who visits

During opening weeks, electric SUV MITSUBISHI e-EVOLUTION CONCEPT will be on display at the center, offering visitors the opportunity to view what the future of the company's high-performance electric cars will look like.
