The red brick warehouses of Maizuru Red Brick Park in Kitasui District, Maizuru City, when used as storehouses for the pre-war Maizuru Naval District, and were built one after another between 1900 and 1921. In order to make use of these red brick buildings, the city of Maizuru opened them as tourist attractions in 2012 as "Maizuru Red Brick Park."
The seven red brick warehouses here have been rennovated, and are designated as Important Cultural Properties. Buildings 2 and 3 contain a café and exhibition space, and buildings 4 and 5 are used for live events, art festivals, and more.
