Facility Concept

In addition, based on the concept of “Riverfront NEXT, “ *2 a project by Fukuoka City that promotes urban development by opening up toward the river at Naka River in the city center, we believe that this project will create a bustling atmosphere along the river by becoming a base where economic activities are born and contribute to improving the circulation of people in the city center.
The keywords are global x local (Fukuoka). The concept is to create a new culture by collaborating across national and cultural boundaries to offer experiences that can only be experienced here, and to make Fukuoka a more interesting city.

Immersive Theater「THEATER 010（Theater Zero Ten）」

At THEATER 010, an immersive theater on the 2nd floor, we have collaborated with Outside The Box Amusement (OTBA), a world-class creative team behind the immersive theater club “THE BOX,” which has been the talk of the town in New York and London. You can enjoy a world-class show while dining. This will be the first show produced by OTBA in Japan and the only one in Asia. Unlike conventional theater, this special experience, which can only be experienced by those who come to the restaurant, is called “immersive theater,” and started in London in the 2000s. Through a production that stimulates all five senses, the audience is deeply immersed in the world of the show.
