Fukuoka
Learn Japanese in Fukuoka, a truly historic city, where tradition and modernity meet! Nestled between the mountains and the Sea of Genkai, on the northern shore of the island of Kyushu, Fukuoka is said to be one of the oldest cities in Japan. Fukuoka combines the exciting atmosphere of a modern city with the peace and serenity of beautiful natural spaces and historic monuments. The modern city of Fukuoka was born in 1889, when two cities, Fukuoka and Hakata merged. This created a city with two very distinct personalities. Hakata, with its port was said to be the city of the merchants, and remains to this day the commercial centre of Fukuoka, whilst old Fukuoka was the city of the samurai, and is now known for its great shopping, as well as its cleanliness, safety, excellent amenities and good quality of life. It is also famous for the friendliness of its people, and for its fantastic cuisine! All this makes it the perfect place in which to study Japanese!
