Warehouse Kawasaki

Amusement facility in Kawasaki, Japan

Warehouse Kawasaki was a five-story amusement facility in Kawasaki, Japan under Geo Corporation's Anata no Warehouse (あなたのウェアハウス, lit. 'Your 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 described as being a "gloriously authentic-looking cyberpunk dystopia".[2] 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 groups Keyakizaka46 ("Gomen ne Christmas")[5][6] and Yumemiru Adolescence ("20xx").

The facility closed on 17 November 2019.[2]
