Living in fukuoka,Japan?

Question:


does anybody have experiences there?apartment average prices?cherry blossoms?people?,etc.... thanks give me some details :D best answer=10pts

Answer:


I live in Fukuoka and, though obviously biased, think it's easily the best place in Japan to live (NOT for sightseeing as that title belongs to Kyoto).

Fukuoka is a prefecture, which means there are a lot of areas/cities within. If you are looking to live in downtown Fukuoka City (Tenjin, Hakata, Nakasu) apartments will likely be quite expensive ($900-1600+ per month, varying by size/location/newness/etc.). If you live on the outskirts (which is best) you can find much better deals. I pay about $600 per month for my place prior to electricity/etc.

There are cherry blossoms just about everywhere in Japan, so yes. There is a great area called Maizuru Park (舞鶴公園) near Tenjin/Akasaka that has a great area for cherry blossoms.

The people are friendly and the women are beautiful.

It gets rather hot/humid in the summer, but otherwise the weather is pretty nice.

The nightlife in Tenjin is pretty good as well. So is the shopping.
