Hotel seven x seven Itoshima to Relaunch in April 2026

Renewed Dining Lounge Featuring Local Ingredients. New Pool and Sauna Facilities to Enhance Wellness Experiences.

TOKYO, Feb. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kasumigaseki Capital Group's fav hospitality group Co., Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Hidekazu Ogata; hereinafter "FHG") will relaunch seven x seven Itoshima, located in the Itoshima area of Fukuoka Prefecture, on April 1, 2026.

Guided by the concept of "Sunset Beach Club," the property will introduce a newly added sauna and pool area, alongside a refreshed dining lounge featuring creative cuisine made with local Itoshima ingredients.

The hotel offers a stay experience where guests can connect with Itoshima's natural surroundings through food, music, wellness, and activities.

A Retreat Set Against Itoshima's Natural Landscape

Just 45 minutes from Fukuoka Airport, Itoshima lies beyond the city's bustle, offering a naturally rich environment where the sea, mountains, and sky feel close at hand.

Blessed with ingredients nurtured by its abundant nature, the area is also renowned as a culinary destination, featuring fresh seafood, mountain produce, carefully cultivated vegetables, and locally crafted seasonings that reflect the region's unique terroir.

"Sunset Beach Club" is a stay concept where food, music, wellness, and activities come together in quiet harmony against the backdrop of Itoshima's natural beauty. From daytime through sunset and into the evening, guests can enjoy a retreat experience that gently rebalances both body and mind.

Savoring Itoshima's Elements, Culinary Experiences That Complement Your Stay

In the refreshed dining lounge, tapas are presented to express the flavors of Itoshima's nature, climate, ingredients, and seasonings as "elements." These are curated under the supervision of Chef Mawatari, owner-chef of the popular local bar "klootch," known for its creative cuisine using local Itoshima ingredients.

From light bites to a four-dish tapas meal that highlights the character of each element, the experience goes beyond a simple meal, offering a culinary journey that flows gently with the passage of time.

The drink menu is equally extensive. Supervised by Mr. Nomura, founder and lead bartender of "The Certain Bar" in Kitakyushu, the lineup features Element Flavor inspired cocktails as well as mocktails for guests who do not consume alcohol.

In addition, the local liquor store "Kawakubo Saketen" curates a selection of Japanese sake based on the owner's personal philosophy, featuring distinguished labels primarily from across Kyushu and offering opportunities to discover a broader range of flavors.

"Taste of Element Flavor Dishes" (Four Tapas Dishes) | ¥6,600 (Tax Included)

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Feb. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, today took part in a featured panel at Consensus Hong Kong 2026 titled "Turning Intelligence into Action." Represented by Edwin Wong, Vice President and Head of Risk Control, KuCoin joined industry leaders to discuss how the digital asset sector can strengthen security, enhance customer protection, and move toward operational standards that work across jurisdictions.

The panel synthesized diverse perspectives on risk intelligence, featuring Adam, CEO of Inca Digital, and Amanda, Head of Americas of VerifyVASP. Edwin provided the exchange's operational perspective, focusing on the practical execution of security protocols and the harmonization of global compliance.

The discussion centered on a primary friction point in the current market: the latency between instantaneous on-chain data and the slower off-chain processes of identity verification and cross-border cooperation. Panelists analyzed the evolving threat landscape, agreeing that the industry must prioritize self-regulation and sophisticated intelligence to preempt increasingly complex risks. A major focus of the debate was customer protection and asset recovery, with experts concluding that while intelligence tools have significantly matured, the industry must now work toward a unified "Code of Conduct" to navigate multi-jurisdictional complexities.

Representing the exchange's front-line operations, Edwin shared how user behavior has fundamentally shifted. "Five years ago, users prioritized engine speed and token listings. Today, the fundamental question is platform safety," Edwin noted. "Market data confirms that in volatile environments, capital migrates toward platforms with visible security commitments. Trust is no longer an abstract concept; it is a measurable metric of user retention and market stability." In this environment, KuCoin emphasized that risk management is no longer only a defensive function—it is a foundational driver of sustainable growth and long-term user confidence.

To strengthen user protection in practice, KuCoin continues to advance Proof of Reserves (PoR) reporting and has expanded its security and privacy assurance through certifications such as SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and CCSS. These efforts are reinforced by KuCoin's $2 Billion Trust Project, a long-term commitment to upgrading custody architecture, real-time monitoring, and global compliance capabilities. KuCoin also shared how modern exchanges are applying intelligence to prevention, including AI-assisted modeling designed to detect anomalous behavior earlier and reduce downstream impacts on users, counterparties, and market integrity.

Looking ahead, KuCoin underscored the value of an industry-wide, real-time compliance communication layer—one that enables faster coordination while preserving privacy-by-design principles. KuCoin reaffirmed its commitment to advancing trust-first infrastructure and contributing to standards that support a safer, more resilient digital asset ecosystem.
