Fukuoka city with one million and three hundred fifty thousand population is growing fast as a core city of Asia. It is the biggest city in western Japan. The second biggest airport of Japan is in Fukuoka, next to Haneda. Nineteen international airliners fly to and from this airport. Fukuoka occupies fifth place in terms of the number of foreign students. City services are appreciable. Commodity prices are cheaper than Tokyo. Asia week, a journal published in Hongkong, describes Fukuoka as a number one city in Asia easy to live in. This academy is situated in the center of the city. Therefore it is accessible to cultural facilities, easy to go shopping, and students can lead a comfortable city life in a favorable atmosphere.
