Canal City Hakata’s East Building reopened on 4 September 2026 with 16 tenants: 11 shops, four food outlets and Zone8. LOWYA and Zone8 span floors 1–3; the entrance to Zone8 is on 2F only. Details below were checked against the operator’s current pages on 29 September 2026.
Where to go for shopping
LOWYA, Japan’s largest branch of the furniture and interiors brand, occupies 1–3F. LAKOLE, coca and GLOBAL WORK cover 2–3F for clothing and everyday goods. For smaller purchases, 1F has niko and …, GEAR’s JAM, JINS, 2nd STREET and On Time; 2F has 3COINS+plus and GOOD MARKET KYUSHU. The latter stocks foods from across Kyushu and is worth a look for edible gifts. Shop opening hours are not identical, so check the official floor and shop guide for your destination.
Zone8: use the 2F entrance for all three floors
Zone8 has an immersive video area on 1F, merchandise and the permanent Attack on Hita information corner on 2F, and a collaboration café on 3F. Even when heading to 1F or 3F, enter through 2F.
As of 29 September 2026, the Attack on Titan Zone8 Café on 3F is scheduled through 4 December 2026. Its food set is ¥3,500 plus tax; visitors of elementary-school age or older each need a ticket. Babies and children not yet in kindergarten cannot enter. The session lasts 60 minutes, and tickets are sold at the 2F Zone8 merchandise counter; same-day tickets can sell out.
The Blue Lock immersive experience and pop-up on 1F is scheduled through 17 January 2027. Entry requires a purchase of at least ¥3,000 at the 2F Zone8 shop including Blue Lock merchandise; access times may be limited when busy. These are different admission rules, not one all-access ticket. Check the current official Zone8 page before travelling, especially if you need information about language support.
Four places to eat
On 1F, Ito King Dorayaki Café serves sweets from a Fukuoka strawberry brand; W&B -WAGYU & CRAFT BEER- by AOZORA BREWERY offers wagyu and locally brewed craft beer; and Mister Donut offers a quick stop. On 2F, Eggs ‘n Things serves Hawaiian-style meals. Menus and hours differ by restaurant. For more dining options across Canal City, use the official restaurant guide.

Getting there and shopping as a visitor
The East Building’s address is 9-2 Gionmachi, Hakata Ward. Canal City Hakata as a whole is about a three-minute walk from Kushida Shrine-mae Station on the Nanakuma Subway Line, or about ten minutes from Hakata Station. The East Building is one part of the complex; follow the in-mall floor signs. See the official access guide for your route. Some, but not all, stores offer tax-free shopping; check the mall’s overseas-visitor services rather than assuming every purchase qualifies.
