Urban Oasis 'ACROS Mountain'
The ACROS Fukuoka Step Garden, also known as 'ACROS Mountain', is a large-scale, climbable observation deck in the center of Fukuoka City, designed to mimic the concept of a mountain with greenery planted on the roof. Standing 60 meters tall with 14 floors, the rooftop on the 14th floor is only open on weekends. It is one of the most iconic landmarks in Kyushu Fukuoka and currently serves as an international cultural exchange center. This green building was developed with the concept of sustainable development, transforming the last piece of green space in Fukuoka City into a structure that balances urban development and environmental protection. The building includes a concert hall, international conference center, exhibition center, and other multifunctional event spaces.

Fascinating building by Argentinean architect Emilio Ambasz - a precursor of 'green' architecture. Ambasz's trademark style is a combination of buildings and gardens, which he describes as 'green over grey' according to Wikipedia. That philosophy is very well-demonstrated in ACROS located in the town center; next to the Naka River, just a little downstream from the famous Hakata Canal City.
In 2024, I want to visit this place again.
