The Red Shoe Bus in front of the Red Brick Warehouse

A nice place to hangout on a warm, sunny day

We are very close to the Minato Mirai area

There's enough space here for concerts, beer fests, and ice skating, depending on the season

And we are also close to "Jack", seen in the background

There was a French auto exhibition being held this day

Formally the Customs Inspection House for Yokohama Bay's shipping activities in the early 1920's, these handsome red brick buildings have been converted into one of Yokohama's most popular family or date spots. Inside are unique shops and restaurants, while outside, throughout the year, numerous events take place. The autumn October Beer Fest, and the winter skating rink are two of the most enjoyable, while in summer, concerts are often held. Situated right on the bay, the views are beautiful.
