Jankara, which operates 207 locations nationwide and ranks among the largest karaoke chains in western Japan, will hold the grand opening of “Jankara Asahikawa 3-jo” in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, on May 29, 2026. The new store marks Jankara’s first entry into the Asahikawa area. Beyond karaoke, it aims to offer a relaxing place where people can have fun at any time. The store features an open and spacious interior design, along with a variety of concept rooms including a home theater room, a projector and stage room, and a room where groups can lie down and relax until morning. In addition to standard karaoke rooms, the store includes an open counter space called “KARAOKE BAL Asahikawa,” where customers can interact with one another. With board games, darts, and other playful content, the location is designed as a new gathering place in Asahikawa for a wide range of generations, from young people and families to seniors. Sing, relax, and talk together. A new spot that people will want to drop by is coming to the streets of Asahikawa. To commemorate the opening, Jankara will run a half-price room-fee campaign for Jankara app members from May 29 to May 31, 2026. The offer includes a free drink bar. App membership is free, and non-members are encouraged to register during the campaign period. Paid drinks and food can be ordered separately. The campaign cannot be combined with other discount services, and customers may need to wait depending on crowd conditions. The interior features a bright, open atmosphere, with wood-grain finishes and warm lighting creating a comfortable environment for extended stays. Decorations inspired by Hokkaido’s nature and wildlife, such as lavender and Ezo deer, add a local Asahikawa character to the space. The store is designed to offer a calm, leisurely environment for customers of all ages. “KARAOKE BAL Asahikawa” provides a bar-style counter space where customers can enjoy karaoke while communicating with one another.
