It’s mainly preserved railway facilities and old train cars, so it has a nostalgic vibe. It’s pretty good for photos, and if you’re into trains or vintage stuff, it definitely has a certain charm.
That said, the whole place isn’t very big. If you really take your time, you’ll probably be done in about 10+ minutes, so there’s no need to plan on waiting in line for a long time.

CafeTUTU
A cafe in Hakodate’s Bay Area, located in the popular Red Brick Warehouses. Tucked behind Kanemori Youmokan, it’s a perfect stop during a stroll. Set in a renovated early-Showa-era brick warehouse, the space keeps its original character with a modern twist. Jazz and soul play inside, and a private room features a DJ booth-local DJs sometimes drop in to curate the music. There’s also terrace seating outside, and pets are welcome.
The overall vibe is really vintage—just sitting there makes you feel like you’re traveling.
The space isn’t big, but it’s super cozy. Perfect for grabbing a coffee and something sweet when you’re tired from walking around.
You can see the warehouse district scenery from the window, so it’s a great place to slow down and take a break. A comfy little pit stop in the middle of the day. -
COREDO Muromachi
A full line up of different restaurants await, from casual and full-on authentic dining, both in Japanese and Western style. Inside you’ll find all the trimmings of good living, including the historic charm of Nihonbashi veteran shops to a modern-day cinema complex. With so much at this all-in-one shopping stop, there’s plenty of crowds drawn here across a wide range of ages.
There are three different buildings here, each with its own unique shops. A lot of them are long-established Edo-era stores, and most of the products are made in Japan. The quality and craftsmanship are impressive. You’ll definitely find some great stuff here.

Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology
The TOYOTA Commemorative Museum was built utilizing the location and buildings of the test factory that Sakichi Toyoda, the founder of the Toyota Group, established in 1911 for research and development of looms.
I just learned that Toyota actually started out in the textile business. That's pretty interesting!
