Fukuoka City is the largest city in Kyushu, South-Western Japan. Its moderate climate, beautiful scenery and great location have made it popular with travelers worldwide. Fukuoka was ranked as the best city in Asia by Asiaweek magazine for 1997, 1999 and 2000, because of its cleanliness, safety, excellent amenities and all-round good quality of life. It was also picked as one of the world’s 10 boomtowns by Newsweek in 2006. Close to both mainland China and Korea, it is a link to the rest of Asia and beyond. Summers are warm, winters mild, and the people friendly.

Fukuoka’s renowned cuisine and warm-hearted people will make your stay here a pleasure. The city is full of wonderful restaurants, and it’s hard to visit an izakaya (local restaurant) without making new friends. In addition, Fukuoka is bursting with culture: its many art galleries, museums, and theaters will give you your fill of the arts, while the nightlife is some of the best in the country.
Fukuoka is also unparalleled in convenience - the international airport is 10 minutes from the school and city center by subway, and the shinkansen (bullet train) station is even closer.
