Furukawa Hall, French Renaissance university building in Fukuoka, Japan
The Furukawa Hall features an octagonal tower with a distinct tulip-shaped roof design situated along the riverside in Fukuoka's Chuo Ward.
Built in 1909, the hall initially served as a guesthouse during the Kyushu-Okinawa exhibition, hosting members of the Imperial family and Chinese revolutionary Sun Yat-sen.
The structure represents the integration of Western architectural influences during Japan's Meiji period modernization, combining French Renaissance elements with local building traditions.
The building maintains several accessible rooms for visitors, including a dining area transformed into a cafe within the historical structure.
During World War II, the building underwent modifications when its metal components were removed to support military production efforts.
