Creating New Culture on the Riverfront — "010 BUILDING" Complex Opened

A new complex, 010 BUILDING, opened on 1 December 2022 in the Naka River area adjacent to Canal City Hakata. It is part of Fukuoka City’s new project Riverfront NEXT, which utilises the waterfront space around Tenjin and Hakata. This is a new tourism destination that combines food and entertainment.

010 BUILDING aims to bring a new value to Fukuoka by transcending national and cultural frameworks and collaborating with the world’s top creators; the design architect is CLOUDS AO, a globally active architectural unit that has won numerous competitions, including the NASA Mars Habitat Project and the NY City 9/11 Memorial. Adjacent to Canal City Hakata, the building’s spiral silhouette, visible from a distance, creates a futuristic atmosphere.

Audiences create stories together ― Immersive ‘THEATER 010’

The centrepiece of the complex, THEATER 010, is a new form of experiential entertainment called ‘Immersive Theater’, which is not a conventional style to enjoy the show. The hands-on entertainment from New York and London’s hottest club, THE BOX, is a new kind of theatre experience where the audience is not just watching a show on stage, but is also immersed in the show together with the artists.

Part of the show was performed at the preview for media release. The performers get off the stage and walk around the floor to perform songs, and in some scenes visitors perform with them, allowing them to enjoy a powerful show by singers and performers at close range.

The restaurant is on the ground floor and the bar on the second floor; you can also watch the show with a meal and drinks.

The artworks on display in places are also enjoyable.

Innovative dining experience at GohGan

GohGan, located on the ground floor of 010 BUILDING, is created by two famous chefs. Fukuoka-born Tsuyoshi Fukuyama, owner-chef of La Maison de la Nature Goh, was awarded a star in the Michelin Guide for Fukuoka and Saga, and has been named one of the 50 best restaurants in Asia five times. And Gaggan Anand, owner-chef of the Indian restaurant Gaggan Anand in Bangkok, has been awarded first place in the ‘Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants’ four times. This is the first time these two have teamed up for a restaurant.

There are indoor seating that can be enjoyed while looking at the kitchen, which conveys a live atmosphere, and terrace seating along the river. The mixture of French and Indian cuisine is full of surprises. This restaurant will bring a new wind to Fukuoka’s culinary scene.
