Time Out says

One of the smarter moves in the redevelopment of Yokohama's bayside Minato Mirai area was the decision to preserve these former customs houses, which date back to the early 20th century. The two warehouses (known as akarenga in Japanese) survived the 1923 Kanto earthquake thanks to iron reinforcements, and emerged unscathed from WWII.

The No 2 building underwent redevelopment in 2022 and is now home to a refreshed selection of shops, bars and restaurants. Popular breakfast spot Bills is still here after the renovations, alongside a Disney Harvest Market for Mickey Mouse-themed meals, environmentally-friendly houseware store Sustainable Think and craft chocolate maker Chocola Meets, to name but a few of the 66 stores.

It's not all about shopping here, though. The No 1 building gets used for a wide range of events, including exhibitions and performances.

What’s on

Japan Burger Championship

Twenty-seven popular burger shops from across Japan are gathering at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse to compete in the third Japan Burger Championship from June 12 to 14. Each venue will be cooking up its best hamburgers, which will be judged based on the taste and skill of the chefs. The winner of the competition will compete in the World Food Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana this coming October. Several burger joints in Tokyo's burger scene are taking part, including Brisk Stand and Chronic Burger, alongside restaurants from across Japan and overseas. Participating vendors include burger specialists from Nagano, Kagoshima, Miyagi and Gunma, as well as former world champions from South Korea and the United Arab Emirates. Pair your burgers with a side of fries from a selection of vendors specialising in the crispy spuds. New for 2026, burgers can be cut into halves or quarters for a small fee, making it easier to sample a wider variety of burgers or share them with friends and family.
