Kodaifest | Kyushu Institute of TechnologySat 10/11 – Sun 10/12, Fukuoka Prefecture
At the Kōdai Festival, you can enjoy a variety of programs and decorations—be delighted, be surprised, and satisfy your curiosity as you savor the moment. We also want people who aren’t usually familiar with the university to feel connected to it; that wish is the fundamental concept of our campus festival. For many, this festival becomes the occasion that introduces them to the school.
