The “Re+ Marché (Re Plus Marché)” will be held on November 29 at the observation garden of America Yama Park (Yamate-cho, Naka-ku, Yokohama), which is directly connected to the Motomachi-Chukagai Station on the Minato Mirai Line.

This is a market with the concept of “Re,” such as Reuse, Reduce, and Upcycle (Recycle). The “+” was added with hopes for development from “Re,” including zero waste, SDGs, and reducing transportation energy through local production for local consumption.

It will sell honey and related products from honeybees raised in America Yama Park, vegetables from Kanagawa Prefecture, “Yokohama Forest Detergent” made with essential oil from thinned-out mikan peels from Yokohama, and candles using surplus flowers.

Workshops such as “Making Ornaments with Surplus Flowers” (1,000 yen) and “Making Herb-Scented Eye Pillows” (1,000 yen) will also be available. The eye pillows, which help relieve eye strain, are made by reusing (Reusing) fabric scraps provided by the long-established Western goods store “FUKUZO” in Motomachi. “Observing Honeybees in the Observation Hive,” where participants can observe bees in a hive and listen to staff explanations, is free of charge. A photo spot will also be set up where visitors can wear a face veil (cotton cloth) to prevent stings on the face or head and take commemorative photos.

The park has been implementing the “Hachi-Iku” (Bee Education) project since fiscal year 2013. This initiative involves keeping honeybees within the park, conducting environmental education programs that utilize their characteristics, and promoting regional cooperation and revitalization through product development using the harvested honey.

Hours are from 10:00 to 15:00. Admission is free. The event will be canceled in case of stormy weather.

The “Christmas Market in Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse” is currently being held at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse (Shinko 1, Naka-ku, Yokohama).

The concept for this 16th edition is “Time.” It is said to embody the hope that the history of the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse and the visitors’ “time” will overlap, allowing everyone to spend their “own time.” The event features plans to experience the “time” of Christmas, such as commemorative photos with an officially certified “Santa Claus” from Rovaniemi, Northern Finland.

Inside the main venue, about 60 food, drink, and goods booths will be set up. They will offer sweets featuring motifs like reindeer and snowmen, German regional dishes like “Schnitzel,” hot cocoa, and more. Workshops like Christmas wreath making will also be held.

A Christmas tree about 12 meters tall, decorated with approximately 20,000 LED lights, will feature a special light show “Special Illumination” every 15 minutes, changing weekly and synchronized with changing weekly BGM.

Special collaboration content with the latest feature-length theatrical animation “Meikyuu no Shiori” (Bookmark of the Labyrinth), directed by Shoji Kawamori and set in Yokohama, will be prepared. The illumination will color the space according to the movie’s characters, synchronized with its theme song.

The free admission area “Christmas Village,” adjacent to the main venue, creates a space where various Pokémon from the latest “Pokémon” series appear to be visiting the Christmas market.

The new area “Christmas Gate” at “Shinko Chuo Hiroba” (New Port Central Square) features decorations, photo spots, and illuminations themed around a “Forest,” along with kitchen cars selling traditional Christmas sweets, in collaboration with “Yoru no Yo.”

Business hours are from 11:00 to 21:00 (until 22:00 from December 6 onward). The Christmas tree lighting hours are from 16:00 to 23:00. Admission is 500 yen and up (varies by date and ticket type). The event runs until December 25.
