Wooden chalets imported from Germany, a living tree of around 11 m, a 30 m canopy of lights stretched between the two warehouses: entry costs from 500 yen depending on the day, with a free area.

German chalets, a living tree and a tunnel of light

The stalls are traditional wooden chalets, Hütte, imported from Germany. At the centre, a living tree of around 11 m, a Sakhalin spruce, carries 20,000 LEDs. Between the two warehouses stretches a canopy of lights around 30 m long, and a 20 m tunnel of light completes the scenery. The market has its own Noritake souvenir mug, and private lounges are available.

Where the Yokohama Christmas Market is

The market takes place on the event square of the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse and in the neighbouring Akarenga Park, at Shinkō 1-1, in Naka ward, on the Yokohama waterfront. It is organised by the Red Brick Warehouse itself, with the city’s arts and culture foundation. From abroad, flights to Tokyo are worth comparing between airlines.
