What other travelers are saying about Hakata Traditional Craft and Design Museum
According to the info I knew, It moved to Hakata in May 2, 2025.
I visited here first at Fukuoka City Museum in April 2025, and found it has a small exhibiting place.
The museum displays various traditional crafts, including Hakata-ori textiles, Hakata dolls, ceramics, and lacquerware.
Hakata-ori is a traditional textile weave from Hakata, known for its intricate patterns and durability, often used for making obi (sashes) for kimono.
Yes, the museum offers interactive exhibits and workshops where visitors can try their hand at traditional craft techniques such as weaving and doll-making.
A single corridor worth of crafts, which given a zero yen admission fee, is well worth it. You are really coming for the Fukuoka City museum, which is in the same building. You stay a little longer for the Traditional Crafts.
Or, come for the free Wi-Fi in the FreeSpace room, also in the same building, do some work and then see a few crafts.
