Night View of Akarenga

※This article was published at March 2015.※

A building that was made during the Meiji Era called Akarenga, Red Brick Warehouse is one of the symbolic figures of Yokohama city.

This building was used as a warehouse before. 
There used to be two of the same buildings like this one build parallel to the ocean, however, after the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake one of the building collapsed and it is now more like 1.5 buildings.

Currently, the building is more of a tourist attraction and a place for festivities where various events are held. 
The area between the ocean and the building is called the Akarenga Park.

This building is pretty interesting to me because it was build a long time ago. 
Really historic.
This is located in Yokohama so it’s actually really near to Tokyo, come and check this out! :)
