Canal City Sales Up Thanks To Uptick In Foreign Tourists

Fukuoka Jisho, the operator of the Canal City Hakata shopping complex, announced that sales rose 7.7% year-on-year to ¥4.5 billion in fiscal 2014, marking four straight years of sales increases. With total visitor numbers up 4.8% to 15.3 million, the company sees an uptick in foreign tourists, who account for 5~10% of all sales, as a big reason for the increase. Meanwhile, Fukuoka Jisho’s other shopping centers, Riverwalk Kitakyushu and Konoha Mall (Nishi Ward), posted sales of ¥1.1 billion (-6.0%) and ¥1.42 billion (+2.9%), respectively.
