Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse

Beautiful historical architecture from Yokohama’s old port era, very well preserved and full of character. The atmosphere is relaxed and scenic, especially along the waterfront. It’s an easy train ride from Tokyo, making it perfect for a one-day trip if you have some extra time. The area is clean, organized, and pleasant for walking and exploring. There are many food options inside the Red Brick complex, but personally I enjoyed dining in Yokohama Chinatown nearby for a more diverse and authentic food experience. Definitely worth visiting at least once.

Such a nice place! The walk to get there is very soothing and the building is beautiful. The shops inside sell mostly leather goods, jewellery and home decor but everything has a quality feel to it and many things seem to be made locally. The gourmet section is also great. Highly recommended! And the balcony is a super nice place to just sit and relax a bit…

This red brick warehouse was a world-renowned state-of-the-art Japanese warehouse from the Meiji era into the Taisho era. Presently, its appearance has been maintained, and the 2-building warehouse contains shops, restaurants, and a multipurpose hall, making it a culture and shopping spot. The #1 building features a dance and theater hall, an event space, long-standing Yokohama stores, and shops selling Yokohama souvenirs. The #2 building has restaurants and cafés with varying themes by floor, as well as shops. The event plaza that connects the two buildings hosts various events, including “Yokohama Oktoberfest.” Relax and look out over the ocean on the lawn area of Akarenga Park, which faces the ocean. Guests can purchase select Yokohama goods and popular sweets. We recommend taking pictures with the outside of the warehouse, the balcony inside, and the ocean and Bay Bridge at the event plaza as backdrops. There is a great selection of cafés and restaurants, from casual food court shops to restaurants that take advantage of the beautiful location. Enjoy live performances by popular musicians at Motion Blue Yokohama, said to be the birthplace of jazz. The stunning night view sets a wonderful mood, making it a must-see.

The Red Brick Warehouse in Yokohama, located by the waterfront, is an exceptionally beautiful destination. During our visit, a strawberry festival was taking place. We did not enter the building due to an entrance fee; however, we enjoyed walking around the area and taking photographs. The weather was pleasant, and the walkways were well-maintained and convenient.

The building itself is a heritage. A highly recommended spot for the architecture in Yokohama. If you want to buy souvenirs there, make sure to find the ones representing the red brick characteristics of the building. There are a lot of souvenirs but they are ordinary ones, with only very few representing the red brick characteristics of the building, so you have to be careful sorting the appropriate souvenirs to buy.

Very cool place, definitely worth the visit if you are in Yokohama! Lots of little shops selling anything from leather goods to glassware, with a wide range of food ranging from food court options up to a Disney cafe or Bar & Grill restaurant on level 3.

It was not free to get into the outside food market but do not let that stop you from exploring inside the historic brick warehouse. A few restaurants, the one we decided on was Chano ma and we had no complaints. The service, environment and food was very comfy as they have beds on the wall. Please also stop by the honey stand, The Wharf restaurant and the pie area as well. Just a few more miles away was a fair going on. Do much going on to do in this area.

Magnificent view! There are a lot of merchandise and goods store inside. You can also go to the balcony to enjoy the views.

Checked out this place at Yokohama called Red Brick Warehouse . There's all kinds of shops and eatery inside . We had ice cream at this place called Milk Marche . It was very delicious ice cream it was like a Strawberry vanilla twist sorbet on a cone . No matter it was cold that day it's never too cold for ice cream . I always remember an English man telling me that over 25 yrs ago back in London lol . For 440 yen cannot go wrong that's $2.95USD . Got a chance it's a must if you're ever in Yokohama (Japan) .it's actually right across from the Cup a Noodle factory .

Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse is situated overlooking Yokohama Bay and within walking distance of the Yokohama Air Cabins. The plus is that this landmark provides free access, therefore serves as a popular spot for visiting locals and foreigners alike. However, I do think that the shops are more touristy than anything else. If you enjoy souvenir shops and a convenient selection of quick eats, this is for you.

Akarenga (Red Brick Warehouse) is a brick structure that was once the Customs Clearing Office for the port of Yokohama, and has since been converted to a food, entertainment and shopping venue. Every weekend you can find couples, families, and groups of friends in the area due to its close proximity to the ocean and the surrounding shopping malls, parks, and places of interest. On many occasions, such as today, this area plays host to various and numerous exhibits and festivals for the local residents of several other countries. Today, was a tribute to Spain and Paella (a seafood, and rice dish), accompanied by traditional dance performances, music, wines, and beers. The weather was perfect at a mild 65 degrees, and sunny, with a gentle ocean breeze. Thousands of people came to celebrate and enjoy the food and performances. If you are in the Yokohama area, I highly recommend visiting the Red Brick Warehouse for entertainment, a refreshing stroll, and delicious food.

If you have ever been to "The Red House" in Taipei this place will give you deja vu. Both that and this "Red Brick House" were built around the turn of the century, were western styled and are currently huge tourist traps. You will find a lot of shops and stalls inside which are completely geared towards tourists. Artsy stuff, souvenior focused stuff, and expensive stuff. One thing this place has over the Taipei brick house is it also has a lot of restaurants. When we came over here we didn't stop at the restaurants though because we were dead set on entering the octoberfest celebration. Now that's a funny activity to do for a "Japanese trip." After experiencing it I can also say its fun and entertaining. There were many stalls severing a wide range of German beer. Weihenstephaner and Hofbräu, which I like alot, are a few examples. They also serve highballs, cocktails and other non alcoholic drinks if your not a big beer drinker. If you are a beer drinker thankfully the beer quality isn't bad and they give you a lot of it. I don't know if they import this stuff but I was pleasantly satisfied. Food-wise.... it was bland. That I know they made locally and from the unsalted dryish pretzel you can tell they didn't cook it traditionally. The sausage was fine though not that smoked. It paired well enough with the beer but I wish they had one of those big open smoked grills you sometimes see at festivals. Overall we enjoyed our stay here. I did buy some touristy stuff that I have in my display cabinet. I would say visit if your in the area, like to shop or want to enter one of their many festivals.

The location is great, being next to the port and within walking distance to other popular tourist spots. My mom and I walked from the Cup Noodle Museum and had a late lunch in the food court, then walked over to China Town. There are a lot of great and affordable restaurants inside! I don't remember where I ate, but I ordered a delicious salmon and white fish bowl that came with a side of fish broth. The cashier showed me directions in English on how to eat the dish, its called ochazuke and is one of the best things I tried in Japan. My mom found a Korean fried chicken stall that she really enjoyed. We didn't spend any time in the shops, but they had a lot of lovely stores to wander through. The building itself is beautiful, and the city found a great way to repurpose the warehouse.

Friday April 28 73°F 63% Humidity Originally customs inspection buildings for traded goods, these two historic red brick warehouses were transformed into spaces for shopping, dining, and entertainment. My friends and I decided to walk from the Cup Noodle Museum to the Gundam Factory, and this was along the way. We explored Building No. 2: 1F - Leather goods, hats, natural stone jewelry, artwork, and fragrances. The food court has ochazuke, omelet rice, Japanized western cuisine, paella, Hawaiian burgers, Korean food, and shumai. There are also coffee shops, cafes, dessert places, and restaurants scattered throughout the first floor. 2F - Apparel, novelty wood items, palm-reading, Venetian glass accessories, caricatures, a music box store, stationary, souvenirs, and other miscellaneous goods. 3F - A burger place, a pizza/beer joint, a lounge/restaurant, and a Disney themed cafe. For a quick snack, I had the Purple Sweet Potato Mont Blanc from Hawaiian Waffle and the Cheese Milk Tea from Milk Marche. Separate reviews to follow. The products here are expensive, but it's nice to walk around and explore. Most of the vendors have a pop-up shop kind of feel to them. If you're visiting during the end of the year, check out their Oktoberfest and Christmas Market! Japan 2023 Yelp collection: yelp.com/collection/5VW1mYIyr54rstI8h9NrYQ/JAPAN-2023

Good renovation of old maritime warehouses. Lots of shops and dining and walking along the waterfront. Inwish the restaurant and food selection contained more Japanese fare (sushi, ramen, shabu shabu, sukiyaki), when I visited Jan 2024 it seemed most of the restaurants were very good Japanese versions of western foods and cafes. But overall a good experience and I always w joy visiting this attraction during my visits to Yokohama.

Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse is located near the Yokohama World Porters building and is an old warehouse with ultra trendy and hipster shops inside. They have a large selection of boutiques and small eateries -- perfect for souvenir shopping and/or feeding your appetite. It's comparable to a larger version of San Diego's Liberty Public Market. I definitely liked the vibe here because it was very chic and modern inside. The only items I purchased, though, were food (because we were hungry from walking around) and some souvenirs to bring back home (October 2018).

Located along the Yokohama waterfront, the Red Brick Warehouse was used as government customs buildings in the past but is now a tourist destination. It is actually made of two separate buildings. One building is for holding cultural events like festivals and art exhibitions. The second longer building is now a shopping mall. From one end to the other, it is now a long hallway full of trendy, boutique stores and eateries. This is not really a place for a casual tourist. The architecture is at least interesting.

What a large red brick warehouse on the harbor. Multiple restaurants, specialty markets, artsy & original items and multiple restaurants and coffee places. What I really love is the Oktoberfest here. Its so much fun with the revellors all singing, dancing and enjoying. I love how people are dressed up and so happy. Food and beer selection seem endless. Top notch celebration for me.

Fun fun fun! October fest, craft fair, wine tasting event, etc...! So many great events here last weekend:)))

Nice architecture on the outside. Inside...so damn touristy. Expensive souvenirs and clothing that you don't need. Just snap pictures outside and keep walking

No visit to Yokohama is complete without .... blah blah blah. But seriously, it's a very nice place to visit. Red Brick Warehouse (Akarenga Sōko, in Japanese) is a rare example of Japan reusing rather than ripping down old buildings. And they've done quite a nice job of restoring the buildings without overdoing it (too much). It's actually two warehouses (I think there were four or five originally), both a century or more old. The others fell during the 1923 earthquake. I think these were just damaged (but it's been a while since I read about this history). The remains of one or two can be found to the left of the larger of the two remaining warehouses. They're pretty cool looking as is. The larger warehouse houses a number of trendy shops, a food court, and some restaurants. The smaller one has souvenir and tchotchke shops, a display of artifacts from the warehouses, and a gallery area (upstairs) they sometimes use.

Yep, this place reminds me of New York City's Chelsea Market! We only visited the bigger warehouse: First Floor: Food! Lots of choices of Burgers, desserts, waffles, etc. Second Floor: Shopping! But not just Japanese Souvenirs, they really have some nice quality items - shoes, pretty umbrellas, ceramics, sunglasses, etc. Third floor: a jazz bar and a seafood buffet. If anything, come here to EAT!!!

Great selection of food, shopping and world wide activities. I've visited red brick warehouse three times. Twice for Oktoberfest and the most recent for Christmas Market. Each time was a blast! Short walk from Bashamichi or Minatomirai stations. Oktoberfest! So much to enjoy. 1. The band they fly in from Germany 2. The huge selection of beer 3. The German style food. 4. The souvenir beer mugs 5. Cheers/Kanpai/Prost with the random person next to you while enjoying #1. Christmas Market! Very festive and bright! I had no idea that I would be enjoying the Christmas spirit in Japan. Nicely decorated Christmas tree in the center. Wide selection of Food and drinks. Hot wine and German Sausages. I enjoyed some hot soup. What topped it off for me was the Ice Skating. I haven't ice skated in years (16 to be exact). ¥1000 for skate rental. Helmets available for kids. Was able to do multiple laps without falling. Lockers are available for your shoes/shopping bags and belongings. I had a great time at both events. Can't wait until the next festive event occurs here.

We had so much fun here. Great places to find souvenirs too. So many great places to eat inside like Dim Sum, Kua Aina Burger and Crepes.

Not worth the visit. Too small of an area and prices are double or tripple regular costs. I know people have to make a living but this is not worth your time. They need to make this people friendly not Merchant aggressiveness. Plus they won't let you ride your bike there. Parking your bike is 400 yards away

Historical warehouses from the 1899 turned into modern fancy shopping mall and event space for art and music plays: 2 main buildings with 3 floors, has very curated shops and atmosphere, theres also an nice ice skating ring during Xmas season

Many events held here all year long. My personal favorite is Oktoberfest; my friends who have been to Germany and been to a legit Oktoberfest there have been surprised how close to legit it is to the real ones in Germany. Fun times!

Aka ranga is a beautiful old warehouse and it often hosts a variety of festivals year round. Oktoberfest is super popular. We love going here for food, but on the weekends and on holidays, it's almost too busy to enjoy. The stores are mostly all feminine Japanese boutiques, not bad but very specific style. The Bill's is the most popular restaurant here, but it's typically impossible to eat here on a weekend without waiting in line for at least two hours. Kua Aina is a great food option if you're feeling like a burger, but Grip Organic is also a favorite for healthier food. Breizh Cafe, from Paris, offers some incredible crepes. The caramel crepe is my favorite.

Not what I thought but full of little gift ideas and offerings for those traveling through the area! Hotel informed me of this store and it was all they made it out to be and there is an extensive offering of baubles and trinkets that made my "gift" shopping very easy! Prices are to be expected and if you walk in hungry there are multiple dining options. Facility was decorating for Christmas while I was there and what was set up appeared to be very amazing and extremely extravagant that would keep kids busy for hours!

This is a shopping mall with many shops and food court, my favor eye glass place is the Tokyo glasses company, you can get your glasses in half an hours and the price is much cheaper than New York. Must try the fresh donut place, it is just insane and nothing like it when the donut is made to order.
