Stretching along the beautiful red-brick warehouses, the market features a very impressive Christmas tree display, market stalls, and lots of festive cheer.
What happens?
Modeled along the lines of Christmas markets in Germany, the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse Christmas Market leans hard into tradition. Wooden Hütte stalls imported from Germany — don’t ask us how they managed that — serve up seasonal fare like sausages, stollen, and spiced wine, alongside snow globes, hand-carved toys, and other festive finds.
Original mugs (¥900) in red or white, decorated with Yokohama Christmas scenes, will also be available.
Workshops let you craft your own wreaths or candles, and Santa himself may make an appearances on select days.
The centrepiece is the market’s largest-ever Christmas tree, standing around 12 metres tall, plus a 30-metre illuminated canopy that sparkles like a starry night sky.
