Our company is a 'Sustainable Infrastructure Company' that supports people's rich lifestyles.
We develop a business model centered on 'Shinchiku' (value-add real estate), which wholeheartedly creates new value in existing real estate.
On Monday, April 20, 2026, 'THE KNOT FUKUOKA Tenjin' opened as the 6th installment of the lifestyle hotel brand 'THE KNOT' developed by our company. This hotel is a complete renovation of the former Plaza Hotel Tenjin, which our company acquired, and One Five Hotels Inc. of the Ichigo Group will operate the hotel.
With the concept of a 'street salon that ignites sensibility,' it is an innovative lifestyle hotel based on the idea of a 'restaurant you can sleep in,' designed with the restaurant as the main attraction. The spatial design, where the bar also serves as the reception, provides a hotel experience open to the city where guests and restaurant patrons naturally mingle.
The hotel's restaurant is operated by MOTHERS Inc., which operates restaurants nationwide and collaborates with 'THE KNOT TOKYO Shinjuku.' Their sophisticated all-day dining for adults, 'MORETHAN CAFÉ RESTAURANT LOUNGE,' serves dishes incorporating ingredients from Fukuoka and various parts of Kyushu. As a restaurant open not only to guests but also to the streets of Tenjin, it creates a place where locals and travelers naturally interact. We offer a menu that allows you to feel a 'little journey' through food, including Kyushu's first tap cocktails and 'Farm to Pizza' using cheese made at the ranch facility 'UBUYAMA PLACE' in Ubuyama Village, Aso District, Kumamoto Prefecture.
Ahead of the opening, we welcomed many media representatives to the 'Media Preview' held on April 17, 2026. During the event, we explained the concept of the 'THE KNOT' brand, our collaboration with the restaurant, the purpose of opening in Fukuoka, and our expectations for 'THE KNOT FUKUOKA Tenjin' through a dialogue between Mr. Yasumura, Representative Director of MOTHERS Inc., and Yasuhide Hosono, President and Representative Director of Ichigo Estate, the owner.
At the tasting session, in addition to the breakfast menu at 'MORETHAN CAFÉ RESTAURANT LOUNGE,' we introduced menus including wood-fired pizza and tap cocktails.
■ Comment from Yasuhide Hosono, President and Representative Director, Ichigo Estate
Ichigo's lifestyle hotel 'THE KNOT FUKUOKA Tenjin' has opened in Fukuoka Tenjin, which is experiencing remarkable development due to the Tenjin Big Bang. It is the center of business, commerce, culture, and food, and many tourists and business travelers from home and abroad visit this attractive place.
One of the concepts of 'THE KNOT' is localization. We aim to be a central presence in the city where you can enjoy Fukuoka's culture, music, youth culture, and dishes and craft drinks made with abundant ingredients.
'THE KNOT FUKUOKA Tenjin' is an exceptionally eye-catching presence even among the 'THE KNOT' brand so far. We hope that not only locals but also many customers from all over the world will visit us!
