History
Tenjin Chikagai opened in September 1976, according to the company page, which states that the mall reached its 50th anniversary in September of the anniversary year. The same page says that at the time of the opening concept, a design evoking a '19th-century European townscape' symbolized by stone, iron, and brick, and a space conceived around a 'theater' concept, were planned to realize town-making that would remain for future generations, and that these have been preserved unchanged over 50 years. During those 50 years, the environment around the Tenjin area changed greatly: to connect with Tenjin-Minami Station following the opening of the Fukuoka City Subway Nanakuma Line, Tenjin Chikagai was extended 230 m southward, and New Tenjin Chikagai opened in February 2005, completing a huge underground space stretching 590 m north to south. The page adds that with the 2023 Nanakuma Line extension and redevelopment under the ongoing 'Tenjin Big Bang', area renewal and connections with new commercial and office buildings are progressing. The 50th-anniversary commemorative concept is 'ちょっと、より未知。'
