The 15th annual Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse Christmas Market 2024 will feature 58 stores exhibiting their wares at the venue. The Christmas tree decorated with 10-meter-high fir trees is a spectacular sight. The “Illuminated Garden”, which is free of charge for admission, will be covered with illumination that makes the most of the trees.
