KUOHKA is a dining street on B1F of the Grand Building at Canal City Hakata. It opened on 18 July 2025, and the official KUOHKA guide describes a 21-shop mix of restaurants, bars and a bakery. If you have limited time, choose your food first: the shops do not all keep the same hours.
- Find KUOHKA in the Grand Building, B1F—not in the North Building dining area.
- The area is advertised as open 11:00–23:00, but each shop has its own schedule and some close between lunch and dinner.
- THE CITY BAKERY opens earlier, at 8:00. Check the individual shop page before travelling for one particular meal.
Pick a restaurant by what you want to eat
For a Fukuoka speciality, 博多もつ鍋 一慶 (Hakata Motsunabe Ikkei) serves motsunabe, a hot pot made with offal and vegetables. 焼うおいし川 博多 (Yakiuo Ishikawa Hakata) serves fish seared on a hotplate, while 海鮮屋 はじめの一歩 is a seafood izakaya. These are different dining styles, so check menus rather than assuming a common food-court format.
Other Japanese options include sushi at 築地青空三代目 博多, eel at 鰻のエイト キャナルシティ博多店 and soba at 日本そば 澄十朗. For something different, the official guide also lists 炭焼肉 ステーキ irori by DAISUKE TAKUBO, フレンチ串揚げベニエ and Gracia Gastrobar de Barcelona HAKATA. THE CITY BAKERY キャナルシティ博多 is a bakery and café; I.N.U.wines HAKATA is a wine bar and shop. These are examples, not a complete tenant list.

Opening hours: the important exceptions
The general 11:00–23:00 KUOHKA hours are not a promise that every kitchen is open throughout the day. The official THE CITY BAKERY listing gives 8:00–22:00. Yakiuo Ishikawa lists 11:00–15:00 and 17:00–23:00, so it has an afternoon break. Hakata Motsunabe Ikkei lists 11:00–23:00 with last orders at 22:30. Hours and last orders can change; follow the shop links in the official KUOHKA directory for your visit date. If you need a particular restaurant at a busy time, check its reservation information too.
Getting there
The address is 1-2 Sumiyoshi, Hakata Ward, Fukuoka. The official Canal City access guide estimates about three minutes on foot from Kushida Shrine-mae Subway Station and ten minutes from Hakata Station to Canal City as a whole; allow additional time to reach the Grand Building’s basement. For shopping before or after your meal, see our East Building floor guide.
