What other travelers are saying about Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse

The ex-warehouses were converted to shops and restaurants. So trisractionis great if you are looking for a place to chill out. Not much of a tourist attraction in my view thought I enjoyed laying down on the grass patch to enjoy the sea breeze.

My plan had been to walk from Yokohama tower and the Cup Noodles Museum to Chinatown for lunch, but then I came across this building. The area reminded me so much of Boston, where I'm from, so I had to stop in. My goodness... the food options here were unreal! I wish I could have had ten stomachs to fill with lunch. I ended up settling on a pork katsu which was so satisfying on a hot day. I also go a soft cream which was so light and fluffy it looked like a marshmallow. Lastly, I took a slice of chocolate almond apple pie for a to-go snack. They have done an excellent job with converting this space to a food hall, one of the best I've been to. It's not that there were dozens of options, but every shop was very high quality and appealing. Some gift stalls as well, but I didn't buy anything.

Recommended to visit on weekdays - on the weekend would be too crowded but most activity and outdoor exhibit held on weekends. The shop was great and the restaurants were so good variety. There is a Disney theme restaurant upstairs. The park nearby was very relaxing.
