Japan Brick Museum Old Brick Factory

Red bricks at Tokyo Station are manufactured here.

Original Text

An old facility of a red brick manufacturing company that was indispensable for modern Japanese architecture such as red bricks at Tokyo Station. The company has not been liquidated, but you can visit the old office and the old substation. Hoffman Wheel Kiln No. 6 is currently under construction and cannot be visited. There is a Bizendug iron bridge nearby, and a plate garter bridge a little far away, which is also a must-see.
