Workshop Collection in Fukuoka

Workshop Collection in Fukuoka.

It was a huge success again this year.

A key feature of the Workshop Collection in Fukuoka is the participation of companies that support the local community, made possible through the cooperation of the “Seven Major Companies” (Kyushu Electric Power, Fukuoka Bank, Seibu Gas, West Japan Railway, West Japan City Bank, Kyudenko, and JR Kyushu).

In addition, Fukuoka Futaba High School is not only exhibiting but also supporting the overall operation of the event,

I also find the extensive collaborative courses with professors from Kyushu University to be a unique attraction not found in other regions.

This time, representatives from Yamaguchi Prefecture, who are promoting the Workshop Collection in Yamaguchi, also came to observe the event.

We look forward to seeing collaboration among workshop collections in various regions, as well as their further expansion nationwide.
