The Red Brick Warehouse consists of two buildings, Warehouse No. 1 and Warehouse No. 2, constructed in early 20th centuries. They were originally used as customs buildings for the Port of Yokohama.

The buildings are significant examples of early modern Japanese architecture and are some of the few structures that survived the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and the air raids of World War II.

Today, the Red Brick Warehouse serves as a cultural and commercial hub. Warehouse No. 1 is primarily used for events and exhibitions, hosting art shows, concerts, and various cultural events throughout the year.

Warehouse No. 2 has been converted into a shopping and dining complex, featuring a unique selection of shops, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants.

After watching through the Red Brick Warehouse, we will have lunch at a restaurant on the 3rd floor in the Warehouse No. 2.

Yokohama Park is a well-known public park situated near the bustling Chinatown and the historic Kannai district. Established in 1876, it is one of the oldest parks in the city and has served as a central recreational and cultural spot for residents and visitors alike.

The park is well-known for Yokohama Stadium, a major baseball stadium that is home to the Yokohama DeNA BayStars. The stadium hosts numerous baseball games and events, drawing crowds of sports enthusiasts.

Yokohama Park, with its blend of historical significance, natural beauty, recreational facilities, and cultural events, plays an integral role in the city's community life and stands as a testament to Yokohama's rich heritage and dynamic present.

Yokohama Chinatown is not only the largest Chinatown in Japan but also one of the largest in the world. Its historical significance is deeply intertwined with the opening of Japan to foreign trade in the mid-19th century and the subsequent development of Yokohama as a major international port.

Yokohama Chinatown was established shortly after the Port of Yokohama was opened to foreign trade in 1859. The port's opening was a part of the Treaty of Kanagawa, negotiated by Commodore Perry between the United States and Japan. Many Chinese traders and immigrants came to Yokohama and set up businesses, mainly to cater to the needs of the increasing number of foreign residents in the city. This marked the beginning of Chinatown, which has grown and evolved over the years.

Yokohama Chinatown's historical importance lies not only in its role as a center for trade and the Chinese community in Japan but also in its contribution to the cultural diversity and international character of Yokohama. Its rich history, vibrant present, and enduring cultural traditions make it a significant and cherished part of Yokohama's identity.
