If you're visiting Tokyo and looking for a fun day trip, head to Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse. Just about 40 minutes from central Tokyo by train, this beautiful place offers a mix of shopping, dining, ocean views, and history—all in one charming spot!
WHAT IS THE RED BRICK WAREHOUSE?
The Red Brick Warehouse (called Aka-Renga Soko in Japanese) is made up of two large red brick buildings near the Yokohama Port. These buildings are over 100 years old and were once used as customs offices and storage during Japan’s trading days. Today, they’ve been transformed into a stylish space full of shops, restaurants, and event halls.
It’s where old meets new—and it's a great place to relax, eat, shop, and enjoy the view.
