We are in Fukuoka, Japan
Fukuoka, home to Kyushu University, is the biggest city in Kyushu, with apopulation of approximately 1.5 million. The trip from Tokyo to Fukuoka
takes about 90 minutes by plane. With a mild climate, Fukuoka is said to be
one of the most comfortable cities to live in Asia. If one had to express its
appeals in one phrase, that phrase
would be “well-balanced.” While the streets of Tenjin, the commercial
center of the city, are lined with modernbuildings and department stores, there is abundant nature at the seaside andin the mountains, both located in the suburbs, and numerous cultural andhistorical buildings such as temples and shrines. With a moderate
population, an urban district existing in harmony with nature, andconvenient transportation facilities, including the airport, Fukuoka has theright balance of various elements.
