FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

United Cinemas Fukuoka Momochi

United Cinemas Fukuoka Momochi, a project by renowned designer Kunihisa Akiyama, is a sophisticated cinema complex located in the vibrant city of Fukuoka, Japan. The design concept aimed to create a space that exudes sophistication, class, and magnificence, perfectly suited to the highly sophisticated residents and visitors of Fukuoka. The cinema complex, completed in 2019, stands as a testament to the designer's vision of offering a superior movie-watching experience.

The cinema complex boasts unique features that set it apart from traditional movie theaters. With high ceilings reminiscent of a cathedral, the lobby is bathed in natural light, creating a serene and solemn ambiance. The use of materials not typically found in theaters, innovative lighting, and spacious volumes aim to dispel the old-fashioned image of Japanese movie theaters, offering a luxurious and calming atmosphere for moviegoers.

Featuring 11 screens and a total capacity of 1674 seats, the complex includes a variety of viewing experiences, including 4DX, Screen X, and live theater options, catering to diverse audience preferences. The design team, including interior designers, graphic and sign designers, architects, and lighting experts, collaborated to realize the vision of a cinema complex that goes beyond traditional movie-watching, offering an immersive and comfortable space for adults.

The project, which began in 2016, was completed in 2019, and is located in a prime area of Fukuoka, adjacent to a shopping center and the Yahuoku! Dome baseball stadium, providing a comprehensive entertainment experience for visitors. The design team's meticulous research and innovative approach have resulted in a cinema complex that not only meets the highest standards of design and functionality but also integrates seamlessly with the surrounding neighborhood and environment.

Recipient of the Bronze A' Design Award in 2019, the United Cinemas Fukuoka Momochi stands as a testament to Kunihisa Akiyama's commitment to creating spaces that enhance the quality of life and offer new and engaging experiences for the community. The project reflects the designer's dedication to redefining the movie-watching experience and generating a brand-new involvement of people, tenants, and cinema, not only in Japan but on a global scale.
