Red Brick Warehouses

Red Brick Warehouse (金森赤レンガ倉庫, Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse) at Hakodate Port, one of Japan’s first ports to open to international trade in the late feudal era, played a vital role in the country’s modernization. Today, these historic red brick warehouses, preserved from the trading days, have been repurposed into a vibrant shopping, dining, and entertainment complex along the waterfront. The charming atmosphere reflects the port’s rich history.

The complex offers a variety of shops, including those selling souvenirs, fashion, interior items, and sweets. Visitors can enjoy a range of dining options such as a restaurant and beer hall. For a special experience, there’s a chapel for weddings, and sightseeing cruises of Hakodate Bay provide stunning views of the waterfront and surrounding area.
