Tsuruga Red Brick Warehouse, Historical warehouse in Tsuruga, Japan

The two-building red brick warehouse complex stands at Tsuruga Port, featuring Dutch bricks and a concealed columnar structure within its architectural design.

Constructed in 1905 by Standard Oil of New York for petroleum storage, the facility marked Tsuruga's rise as a major seaport connecting Japan to Europe.

The north wing houses a detailed 27-meter diorama depicting Tsuruga's street life in the early 1900s, complete with model railways and period-accurate scenes.

Visitors can access the warehouse via a 10-minute bus ride from JR Tsuruga Station, with the restaurant section open until 10 PM and diorama area until 5:30 PM.

The warehouse combines three restaurants offering local cuisine with historical exhibitions, including a preserved Kiha 28 Series diesel train on its northern grounds.
