The Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall is a red-brick historic building in [[Yokohama]], built in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the opening of the port of Yokohama in [[1859]]. A model of Taishô period architecture, it is recognized as an [[Important Cultural Property]].
    
Construction began in September 1914. The Hall was officially opened on July 1, 1917. Due to damage in the 1923 Great Kantô Earthquake and other later events, the Hall has been restored multiple times, including in 1927 and 1989. The exterior features a combination of red brick and white stone in what is described as a "free classic style." A clock tower is incorporated into the southeast corner, and a tower with an octagonal dome at the southwest corner, alongside other domed towers. A number of elaborate stained glass windows are featured within the building.
