Kanazawa Forus

Kanazawa Forus, Fashion center near Kanazawa Station, Japan

Kanazawa Forus is a fashion building in Horikawa Shinmachi, Kanazawa, operated by OPA. The eight-storey building, known as the JR Kanazawa Station NK Building, has seven commercial floors with about 180 tenants, including the Aeon Cinema on the seventh floor and the KUUGO food court on the sixth.

Kanazawa Forus opened on 2 November 2006 as the seventh Forus store, after a preview day for about 10,000 invited guests; for the first three days extra and lengthened trains served Kanazawa Station. It was the city's first large commercial facility in 21 years, since KOHRINBO109 in 1985. Operations passed to AEON Retail in 2008 and to OPA in 2016; since 1 March 2024 it has been the only Forus store still trading nationwide.

The sixth floor holds the KUUGO food court, one of roughly 180 tenants in the building. The seventh floor houses the Aeon Cinema Kanazawa Forus multiplex, which added wider partitioned "upgrade seats" to all its screens in February 2021. The name Forus is shared with a small chain of fashion buildings; this is the only one still trading under that name nationwide since March 2024.

The building stands directly in front of the Kanazawa Station Kenrokuen-guchi (east) bus terminal, about one minute on foot from JR Kanazawa Station and from Hokutetsu-Kanazawa Station on the Asanogawa line. By car it is roughly 15 minutes from the Kanazawa-higashi or Kanazawa-nishi interchange of the Hokuriku Expressway.

The Aeon Cinema on the seventh floor is the only theatre operated by the former Aeon Cinemas chain to sit inside a fashion building. In February 2021 all screens gained wider "upgrade seats" with partitions, about 1.5 times the space of a standard seat.
