Handa Red Brick Building, Industrial heritage museum in Handa City, Japan
The Handa Red Brick Building is an industrial museum in Handa that was originally built as a factory and now encompasses three connected structures. The facility displays British masonry techniques and preserves marks from different phases of its use.
The building was founded in 1898 as a brewery and went through several phases of repurposing afterward. Following various industrial uses, it later gained status as a cultural property.
The structure reflects the skill of those who built it with masonry techniques imported from Britain, visible in its careful brickwork. The marks and damage on the walls tell stories of events that shaped the region.
The museum is open daily to visitors and lies five minutes on foot from Sumiyoshicho Station and fifteen minutes from Handa Station. The location provides straightforward access with clear signage at both stations.
The building bears visible damage from extraordinary historical events that visitors can still see on its walls today. These physical marks make the impact of those events tangible and immediate.
