Among architectural professionals, Fukuoka is known as a city with many examples of excellent modern and contemporary architecture, such as museums, government buildings, hotels, stores and residences. For the past three years, the MAT (Modern Architecture Tour) Fukuoka event has introduced some of the great works of Fukuoka to citizens and visitors- and this year, they’re doing it for the kids! Over two days (8/25~26) Kids MAT will take groups of child/parent pairs on city tours of Fukuoka. A trained guide will teach the kids about the town history, and about the many interesting and important buildings of Fukuoka. It’s a fun and educational summer activity, and a rare and unique opportunity to teach our younger generations to appreciate Fukuoka’s rich architectural landscape!
