Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses

Wed, December 12, 2018, by Muza-chan

A century and a half ago, after the opening of the Hakodate harbour for international commerce, a merchant from Nagasaki came to Hakodate to open a company named Kanemori Haberdasher’s Shop. The name of the company comes from Kane, meaning “money” and Mori from Moriya, the name of the pharmacy he used to work with in Nagasaki.

The Kanemori company has built a row of warehouses made of red bricks which, renovated in 1909, are now among the landmarks of Hakodate. Some are still used as warehouses, while others are housing a large variety of shops and restaurants.
