All Reviews of Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse BAY Hakodate

When visiting Hakodate, Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse BAY HAKODATE is well worth adding to your itinerary. As you stroll along the bay, you can see historic red brick buildings whose vintage exteriors complement the scenery of Hakodate Port, creating the unique character of a port city. The Kanemori warehouses have many distinctive shops, desserts, and souvenirs, so you'll need some time to look around.

If you visit during the Christmas season in winter, there are also evening illuminations, making the entire neighborhood seem wrapped in a soft glow. The cold air, historic buildings, and sparkling lights come together to create a romantic, dreamlike atmosphere unique to winter.

Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse BAY HAKODATE is a must-visit in Hakodate. Walking along the bay, you can see rows of historic red brick buildings. The red brick walls paired with the harbor scenery create a view that really captures the character of Hakodate.

There are many shops, restaurants, and souvenir stores inside, so you can take your time browsing and shopping. The red brick warehouse buildings themselves are also great for photos, and walking through the streets has a nostalgic and romantic atmosphere.

BAY Hakodate also has another must-try cheesecake shop, Petite Merveille. Its signature bite-sized cheesecake is dense and melts in your mouth, though personally, I didn't think the cheese flavor was that rich. Many people online also recommend their pumpkin pudding, but unfortunately I didn't get to try it this time. I'll definitely try it next time I have the chance.

Toward the back of BAY Hakodate, they also sell all kinds of Hakodate-exclusive souvenirs. There's also a highly recommended souvenir shop called Aoi Mori inside Kanemori Youbutsukan, with many items exclusive to the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse that make great gifts.

Also, if I remember correctly, there's a fairly large souvenir shop next to Starbucks. Aoi Mori was the only one I didn't browse this time. The prices at the other two shops were about the same, and both offered tax-free shopping.

So if you want to buy all your Hakodate souvenirs in one place, I think the area around the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse is really convenient. You can browse all kinds of Hakodate-exclusive products at once, and I highly recommend setting aside some time to take your time choosing souvenirs!

Inside the warehouse there are lots of unique shops selling all kinds of Hokkaido specialties, handicrafts, and souvenirs. I especially recommend picking up Hakodate’s local dried seafood and sweets.
