Living in Maidashi

A student and medical neighborhood with Kyushu University's hospital and its faculties of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy within walking distance of the station. It is crowded with hospital visitors on weekdays but takes on a quiet, dual atmosphere on weekends, and many say that wholesale-style supermarkets and cheap side-dish shops here keep the burden of living costs low for people living alone. Tenjin is reachable without a transfer, and rents are among the lowest in Fukuoka City.

This is a student and medical neighborhood in Higashi Ward, served by Kyudai-byoin-mae on the subway Hakozaki Line. A living area beside the Kyushu University Hospital, it has many medical workers and students, and with Hakata close by and reasonable rents, there is demand for living alone. There is no large entertainment district, so it is calm. It is a decent choice for students and office workers who want access to Hakata and reasonable housing costs.
