Tenjin Chikagai will welcome two new stores on July 10 as the underground shopping mall prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in September. Children’s clothing brand Familiar will open its first Kyushu lifestyle store for adult women, marking the company’s seventh such location nationwide. The shop features an interior designed by Fukuoka-born artist Makoto Kagoshima and offers Fukuoka-exclusive products, including strawberry-themed accessories and limited-edition Japanese sweets created with long-established Hakata confectioner Suzukake. Next door, art gift shop Newstaa will showcase about 5,000 items from 33 brands, highlighting artists from Fukuoka and Kyushu. Most merchandise will be refreshed twice each month, giving visitors new discoveries throughout the year as the shopping arcade reaches its milestone anniversary. Source: KBC News / FBS News
