The Kokura Kyomachi Center Building has been completed about a five-minute walk from Kokura Station. The 11-story office building allows floors to be divided to suit tenants’ needs. IT companies are among its occupants, and occupancy had exceeded 90% by Nov. 1. It is the second project completed under Kitakyushu’s redevelopment incentive program, following BIZIA KOKURA in 2024. The city hopes buildings suited to IT businesses will attract employers and create jobs for young people and women. Source: NHK News / Nishinippon Shimbun
