Christmas Market in Yokohama |
Yokohama shines even more vibrantly and beautifully during the winter season. The "Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse," beloved by locals and tourists alike as a symbol of Yokohama, hosts a Christmas market every year.
This year's event, the largest ever, features a Christmas tree made of living trees, standing approximately 10 meters tall, adorned with decorations from Germany, such as huts and ornaments. To truly experience the unique charm of Yokohama, a port city that has embraced foreign cultures while prospering, we recommend taking a stroll at night. After sipping warm mulled wine, consider staying at nearby accommodations.
