Living in Nanakuma

The student district of Jonan Ward, beside the Fukuoka University campus. In 2023 the Nanakuma Line was extended to Hakata Station, so it now connects directly without a transfer, and rents are noticeably cheaper than in central Fukuoka. Jonan Ward is regarded as first among the city's seven wards for perceived public safety, a quiet residential area, so it is a realistic choice for people who want student living infrastructure and safety at the same time.

This is a student street in Jonan Ward beside the Fukuoka University campus, on the subway Nanakuma Line. With the university close, infrastructure for living alone and cheap dining and boarding houses are well developed, and the Nanakuma Line reaches Tenjin while rents are reasonable, so it is popular with students. However, there is no large entertainment district and the line options are limited. It is a quiet area that suits Fukuoka University international students and students who want budget-friendly solo living.
