Built in 1964 for the Olympics, it now has 60 venues overlooking the river.
The building follows the curve of the Ōoka River for ninety metres, resting over both the water and the road: on the ground floor the venues face the street, on the first floor the river, with two opposite façades for the same building. It was built in a hurry in 1964, with a light steel frame, to gather under one roof the black-market stalls that until then had occupied the street in Noge; the city wanted to clean up the area before the Tokyo Olympics that same year. In 2016 it was the first post-war building to be registered as historic architectural heritage of Yokohama. Today it houses about sixty venues, almost all bars and restaurants, and it is the heart of the Noge neighbourhood, which with almost six hundred venues is the densest izakaya district in Yokohama.
Built in 1964 over the Ōoka River to reorganise the post-war street vendors of the Noge neighbourhood; in 2017 it was donated to the Yokohama Heritage association.
ℹ️ Public street and passageways, always accessible. The venues inside keep their own hours, mostly in the evening.
