ONE FUKUOKA BLDG. Celebrates 1st Anniversary! 1st Anniversary Event to be Held from Friday, April 24th

ONE FUKUOKA BLDG. (hereinafter referred to as "One Building"), operated by Nishi-Nippon Railroad Co., Ltd., will celebrate its 1st anniversary on Friday, April 24, 2026. To commemorate this, an anniversary event will be held from the same day until Sunday, May 10. One Building was born with the concept of a "Creative Crossroads," a place where people, culture, and ideas intersect. To celebrate its 1st anniversary since opening, a variety of content will be offered to celebrate the milestone with all visitors. The key visual is created by Naoto Kitamura, an artist from Kasuga City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The visual features a dog motif, inspired by "ONE" from "ONE FUKUOKA BLDG." and "1" (pronounced "wan," like "one" or "dog" in Japanese) for the 1st anniversary. This symbolic visual for the 1st anniversary will be displayed in various locations throughout the building, and an art exhibition by Mr. Kitamura will be held in the 1st-floor Grand Lobby. Furthermore, in addition to shopping, multiple participatory events such as art experiences and pet dog photo sessions will be held, allowing visitors to enjoy unique events at One Building. We will deliver a special time to celebrate the 1st anniversary with gratitude to all visitors. Naoto Kitamura | Profile Born in Kasuga City, Fukuoka Prefecture in 1979. Resides in Oita City.
