Tsuruga Red Brick Warehouse

3 of 8 in Tsuruga

Tsuruga Red Brick Warehouse (敦賀赤レンガ倉庫, Tsuruga Aka Renga Sōko) is a charming spot along Tsuruga Port, where history and local flavor come together. Originally built in 1905 to store petroleum and later used for kelp, these two historic brick buildings now offer a blend of nostalgia and modern comfort. One building features a miniature train diorama that shows how Tsuruga looked in the early 1900s, complete with railways, streets, and a lively town scene.

The other warehouse has been transformed into a cozy space with a café, restaurants, and a gift shop. Visitors can enjoy local food, relax with a drink, and browse for souvenirs while soaking in the seaside atmosphere. With its red brick walls and scenic port backdrop, this location offers a peaceful break with a touch of history and fun for all ages.
