Take photogenic photos with the huge Christmas tree!

In Europe, Christmas markets appear in squares, parks, and other places in winter, attracting many people. The Christmas market here at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse is one of the largest in the Kanto area. Visit with family, friends, lovers, and other loved ones to fully enjoy Christmas. Many stalls sell goods and food inspired by Germany so visitors can enjoy shopping and eating. In addition, a huge Christmas tree, about 10 meters high, will appear at the main venue. It is the most popular photo spot. Taking a picture with the red brick warehouse and the tree will put you in the Christmas mood at once. The illumination changes colors according to the time of day, so enjoy the different colors of the tree during the day and at night.

Enjoy German food and drink! Cheers with a glass of German mulled wine!

About 50 stores, including food and beverage booths and kitchen cars, will be open at the market. Beer, sausages, and German sweets such as Stollen, which is a German custom to eat at Christmas, will also be available for visitors. If you like wine, why not try German mulled wine, a specialty of Christmas markets? This is a drink similar to hot wine, with spices and syrups added to the wine to warm it up, making it perfect for touring the market on a cold day. You can enjoy the Christmas spirit even more by drinking it with an originally designed Christmas mug, which will be sold only at this event.
