Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse

About this Attraction

The Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, locally known as Akarenga, stands as one of Yokohama’s most iconic historical landmarks. Built during Japan's Meiji period, when the country first opened its ports to international trade in the late 19th century, this warehouse complex once served a critical role in customs clearance, regulating the flow of goods into the bustling Tokyo area via the Port of Yokohama. Today, the beautifully preserved red brick buildings reflect the city’s rich maritime history while offering a vibrant modern experience for visitors.

Transformed into a cultural and commercial hub, Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse now houses an array of boutique shops, artisanal stores, and diverse restaurants serving local and international cuisine. The surrounding Event Plaza hosts open-air markets, seasonal festivals, art fairs, and other community events, creating a lively atmosphere that attracts locals and tourists year-round. Inside, multiple event halls are equipped to host concerts, exhibitions, and private functions, making it a versatile destination for various occasions.

Adjacent to the complex lies the scenic Red Brick Park, where visitors can relax on spacious green lawns, enjoy unobstructed views of Yokohama Bay, and watch ships passing through the harbour. Conveniently located within walking distance of Minato Mirai and easily accessible from central Tokyo, the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse combines historical charm, cultural activities, and picturesque waterfront views, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Yokohama.
