About this place
The Handa Red Brick Building (半田赤レンガ建物, Handa Akarenga Tatemono) is a historic brick warehouse located in Handa City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It is certified by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan as one of the Heritage of Industrial Modernization of Japan sites and plaque locations. The site consists of three buildings: the original main building, a storage building, and a half-timbered building. Before renovations, the inside of the building was open to the public several times a year, but seismic reinforcement work and refurbishing was carried out between 2014 and 2015. Since July 18, 2015, it has been open to the public at all times (excluding New Year's Eve and New Year's Day).
