report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 160601A (D. Kocevski et al., GCN Circular #19478) 
with theoptical three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD cameras attached to the 
MITSuME 50 cm telescope of Akeno Observatory, Yamanashi, Japan.

The observation started on 2016-06-01 23:43:35 UT (33 sec after the burst).
We did not find any new point source within XRT circle in all three bands.

We obtained following limits for the magnitudes.
