Smoking rules and things to watch around Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse
Tourist areas across Kanagawa have widely adopted street-smoking bans, with fines for violations. Indoors, the revised Health Promotion Act mandates smoke-free environments by default; smokers must use a designated smoking room, a heated-tobacco-only room, or an outdoor designated smoking spot.
The warehouse buildings and event square are non-smoking; smoking corners are only at designated outdoor spots off the main premises. The designated smoking spots near Minatomirai and Sakuragicho Stations are also useful.
How to find smoking areas near Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse
- Check designated smoking areas inside or in front of major stations first
- Use indoor smoking rooms in large shopping complexes, department stores, and airports — weather-proof and reliable
- Heated-tobacco-only rooms sometimes allow eating and drinking; filter by your device type
- Carry a portable ashtray and never smoke on the street if no designated area is available
