Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse

Built in 1911 and 1913 as customs inspection warehouses for the Port of Yokohama, the Red Brick Warehouse complex is one of the city's most beloved landmarks. After decades of disuse, the two warehouses were carefully restored and reopened in 2002 as a cultural and commercial hub. Warehouse No. 1 hosts art exhibitions, concerts, and theatrical performances, while Warehouse No. 2 features dozens of shops and restaurants spread across three floors. The surrounding open plaza hosts seasonal events throughout the year, including a popular German-style Christmas market in winter and an Oktoberfest in autumn. The waterfront promenade has clear sightlines to Bay Bridge and the Minato Mirai skyline—good for an evening walk.
