Canal City 2 is considered the prime candidate as the location for Disney's first indoor facility. 鹿児島に西鉄系ホテル Nishitetsu to Open Hotel in Kagoshima The Fukuoka City-based Nishi-Nihon Railroad Co. (Nishitetsu) revealed it planned to operate a hotel in Kagoshima City near the JR Kagoshima Chuo Station. The hotel will be located in a building to be constructed by a local trading company, and plans call for it to open in March 2012. Nishitetsu's objective is to capture the large demand they anticipate from business travelers and tourists after the Kyushu Shinkansen opens in 2011. シカ肉ウインナー開発 Venison Hot Dogs Kwassui Women's College of Nagasaki City and the Deer Company, which processes meat from deer raised on their own ranch in Minamishimabara, have jointly developed hot dogs made from venison. They held a tasting party in a Nagasaki City hotel on the 28th to promote their planned sale next spring. Venison has fewer calories and fat than beef, and is rich in iron and vitamins.

虹の松原保護へ連携 Governments to Preserve Niji-no-Matsubara The governments of the city of Karatsu, Saga Prefecture, and Japan (as represented by the Kyushu Bureau for National Forest Management) signed a memorandum pledging to work together to preserve the 216-hectare Niji-no-Matsubara pine forest stretching for 50 kilometers along the coast of Karatsu Bay. The forest is threatened by pine-eating insects and the growth of broad-leaf trees. A plan for its preservation was formulated in March, and this memorandum is an agreement to work together to implement the plan. 福岡周遊バス運行へ Fukuoka Tour Bus Starts Fukuoka City-based Nishi-Nippon Railroad (Nishitetsu) will begin operation of a tour bus route in the city starting on September 22.

リサイクル業の従業者率 Kitakyushu Leads in Recycling Employment The Kitakyushu branch of the Bank of Japan released a report on the recycling industry in that city showing that it employs 2,692 people. That number accounts for 0.64% of the national total of people employed in the industry, which is the highest percentage of 63 regions in the country, including Tokyo's 23 wards and 15 government-designated cities.

熊本駅前に 123 メートルビル Kumamoto's Highest Building Kumamoto City released details of a redevelopment plan that calls for the construction of a 123-meter high building near the JR Kumamoto Station to coincide with the opening of the Kyushu Shinkansen line. It will be the tallest building in the prefecture.

大牟田に太陽光発電所 Solar Generating Plant in Omuta Kyushu Electric Power announced plans to build a large solar power generating plant in Omuta, Fukuoka Prefecture, with a maximum capacity of 3,000 kW. Construction work is to start next autumn, and the plant will go on line either at the end of 2010 or the beginning of 2011. It is expected to use up to 30,000 solar panels the size of tatami mats. Its projected annual power output would meet the needs of 900 ordinary households. 九州の議会、大半が「D」 Kyushu Assemblies Get D Rating A national federation of citizen ombudsmen released their "report card" on the transparency, vitality, and effectiveness of expenditures for 103 local governmental assemblies nationwide. The report included municipal as well as prefectural assemblies. Most Kyushu assemblies received a D grade. Among the prefectural assemblies, those of Yamaguchi and Kagoshima received a C, while the other six were given a D. Among the major cities, only Kitakyushu received a C, while the prefectural capitals and Shimonoseki were given a D. オフィス空室率 10% 台に悪化 Fukuoka City Office Occupancy Rates The Fukuoka City branch of office leasing company Miki Shoji Co. released a report on office occupancy rate in the city as of the end of July. The rate fell by 0.13 percentage points from the previous month to 89.98%, marking the first time since July 2005 that it has been below the 90% level. According to the company, the primary reason for the decline is that of the 11 new office buildings completed and opened in the city from February to June, seven have a full utilization rate of less than 70%. 小さな洋食店、世界が評価 Imari Restaurant Wins Monde Selection The Monde Selection international institute in Brussels for evaluating product quality has awarded a gold medal in the food seasonings division to the original salad dressing created by the proprietors of Yoshoku-ya Bank, a 10-table restaurant in Imari, Saga Prefecture. The dressing, made on the premises every morning, is not pasteurized and makes extensive use of fresh vegetables. Now sold on the Internet, the dressing is becoming popular because it helps children who hate vegetables willingly eat salads. Current proprietor Kazuyo Ohata said,“I'm happy that a restaurant such as ours has gotten world-wide recognition.”


九州ニュース

九州の農林水産物、アジアへ輸出好調 Exports to Asia Brisk The value of Kyushu agricultural, forestry, and fisheries products during business year 2007 soared 17% to 54.3 billion yen, topping the 50 billion yen-level for the first time. Kyushu's share of the national exports in this sector was 13%. Of particular note was the amount of exports going to Asian countries with high growth rates. South Korea imported the most products, followed by the United States, China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

地場企業、07 年海外進出 52 件 52 New Overseas Operations The Kyushu Economic Research Center released its report on the overseas business expansion of Kyushu/Yamaguchi Prefecture-based companies for 2007. The survey found that the companies launched a total of 52 new enterprises overseas during that period. Though the total is roughly flat from the previous year, it is also the second straight annual decline. Roughly half of these enterprises were located in China, and 80% were in Asia.

連携大学院開設へ Universities to Develop Car Electronics Graduate schools of the University of Kitakyushu, the Kyushu Institute of Technology, and Waseda University of Tokyo announced they will form an alliance next April to train personnel using IT to develop car electronics products. There is a growing need for specialists in this field as the use of computers in automobiles is becoming more sophisticated. This alliance will receive Ministry of Education support.

九州・1-6 月新規マンション供給、35% 減 Sharp Reduction in New Condos A Fukuoka City based company monitoring conditions in the housing industry reports that the number of new condominiums coming on the market in the seven Kyushu prefectures from January to June totaled 4,178 units, a 35% decline from the yearbefore period. Condominium sales fell 12.4% in the same period to 5,001 units. The decline in new units was attributed to the higher costs of construction materials and the increasing difficulty in procuring funds for construction from financial institutions.

シンガポール最大電力会社、九電などが買収 Consortium to buy Power Plant in Singapore A consortium led by Marubeni and GDF Suez from France, and which includes Kyushu Electric Power, Kansai Electric Power, and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, will buy Senoko Power Ltd., Singapore's largest power plant, for roughly 274 billion yen. The company is being sold as part of Singapore's policy to liberalize its energy sector. It is the first time Kyushu Electric will be involved in the purchase of an overseas power company.

スペースワールド、社員を半減 Space World to Reduce Employees The company operating the Kitakyushu theme park Space World revealed that it would reduce the number of employees at the facility by half. The intent is to reduce personnel costs and reinvest the savings into the facility itself to attract more customers. The group that owns Space World controls a total of 30 such facilities, and has maintained employment at all of them, but made an exception in this case to prevent the facility's closure.
