The Hakata Sunhills Hotel in Fukuoka’s Yoshizuka Honmachi will close on November 30, citing a prolonged decline in the wedding market and ongoing financial losses. Operated by the Fukuoka Prefectural Police Mutual Aid Association, the hotel opened in 1988 and was known for hosting weddings and banquets. Annual wedding bookings dropped from nearly 530 in FY1993 to just 14 in FY2021. The facility has been operating at a deficit since 2019. Future use of the site will be decided through discussions between the prefecture and the operator. Source: KBC
