Warehouse Kawasaki

Warehouse Kawasaki was a five-story amusement facility in Kawasaki, Japan under Geo Corporation's Anata no Warehouse brand of themed amusement facilities and parks.[1] It was designed to look worn down and like the former Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong, with the design handled by now-defunct Japanese design company Hoshino-Gumi, with props imported directly from Hong Kong.[2] [3] It was located a ten-minute walk from Kawasaki station.

The facility featured retro games in addition to modern ones,[4] and was also a common locale for both amateur and professional photo and video shoots, such as music videos for idol group Keyakizaka46 song "Gomen ne Christmas"[5][6] and music group Wednesday Campanella song "Ikkyu-san" [7]

The facility closed on 17 November 2019,[8] [9] with some sources reporting that it was due to a dispute over rent with the landlord, and that there are currently no plans for a reopening at another venue.[10]
