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] that operated from 2009[2] to 2019.[3] It was designed to look worn down and like the former Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong, with the design handled by the now-defunct Japanese design company Hoshino-Gumi, with props imported directly from Hong Kong.[3][4] It was described as being a "gloriously authentic-looking cyberpunk dystopia".[3] Its location was a ten-minute walk from Kawasaki Station.
The facility featured retro games in addition to modern ones,[5] 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")[6][7] and Yumemiru Adolescence ("20xx").
The facility closed on 17 November 2019.[3]
