Nice. The further away from Tokyo the better

3 ( +4 / -1 )

Its a start up city for foreigners????

That is doubly true for foreigners, who under the regulatory reforms can expedite the visa application process. For example, they can bypass the requirement to have both funding of at least 5 million yen and at least two full-time employees.

That is pretty interesting. mmm

Fukuoka certainly has a lot going for it- not as crowded as the usual suspects, but almost all of benefits of a big city. Nationally-famous food, high-speed rail links, an NPB team, great access to Asia through its incredibly convenient airport [only a 5 minute subway ride to the city center], nightlife, shopping, lots of nature nearby... What's not to like?
