Tenjin Business Center II Opens in Fukuoka with 16 New Shops and Restaurants

Another long-awaited piece of Tenjin’s transformation has opened in the heart of Fukuoka. At 12:30 on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, the commercial zone of Tenjin Business Center II opened in Tenjin 1-chome, directly across from Fukuoka City Hall.

Inside the building’s seven-level atrium, visitors will find “Aerosolar Rhythms,” a large-scale installation by Argentine artist Tomás Saraceno. Suspended in the open space, the work changes with the surrounding light, air currents and movement of people, adding a soft sense of motion to the building’s sharp, modern architecture.

Part of Fukuoka City’s ongoing Tenjin Big Bang redevelopment, the new 18-storey, two-basement-level complex brings offices, shops, restaurants, startup support and worker facilities together in one of the city center’s most visible locations. It also strengthens the growing network of commercial spaces around Tenjin, with underground links to Tenjin Chikagai and the neighboring Tenjin Business Center, making it easy to stop in for food, shopping or coffee without worrying about the weather.

The commercial zone, open to the public from B2 to 3F, includes 16 stores in total: one Japan debut, seven Kyushu debuts and four new business formats. Fukuoka Now visited during a preview held ahead of the grand opening.

A New Mixed-Use Landmark in Tenjin

At the center of the building is “Accelarium,” a seven-level atrium connecting B2 to 5F. The building was designed by architect Shohei Shigematsu of OMA, who also designed the original Tenjin Business Center.

Rather than functioning only as an office building, Tenjin Business Center II is designed to pull together different parts of city life. The lower-floor commercial zone, office lobby, startup support facilities and public-facing spaces are arranged around the atrium, creating a place where people can shop, eat, meet or simply pass through while walking around Tenjin.

Floors 6 to 18 are office floors. On 4F is Fukuoka Innovation Lab.Tenjin, an incubation facility focused on deep tech. On B2 and 4F to 5F is Reboot!, a shared space of approximately 1,300 tsubo for tenant workers.

Reboot! includes a cafe lounge and meeting rooms, as well as a gym, simulation golf, nap rooms, library, spa and sauna. These facilities are generally intended for people working in Tenjin Business Center II.
