Solaria Plaza, the Tenjin shopping complex operated by Nishi Nippon Railroad (Nishitetsu), is set to reopen on September 10 after extensive remodeling. The facility targets women aged about 25 working in the Tenjin area, and has shops offering clothing and sundries. Nineteen new shops were added to the complex, which accounts for 15% of the tenants. It was Solaria Plaza’s first remodeling after its 1989 opening, and was conducted to help it compete against other Fukuoka City facilities and the JR Hakata City complex at Hakata Station that will open next spring.
