Voris Architecture Special Guided Tour Fall 2025

The number of participants is about 20 people per session (reservation required). The director of the Voris Memorial Hall will guide you through Voris architecture scattered throughout the city. This 3-hour tour allows you to experience the warmth of Voris buildings, which embody the saying, "The dignity of a building lies in its content rather than its exterior, just like a person's character." There will be a fun lecture session introducing Voris during the tour. The total walking distance is about 1.5 km, all on flat paths.
