Living in Onojo

A satellite city that ranked first (jointly) in the 2017 nationwide Livable City Ranking, with living infrastructure and child-rearing and medical environments in place. You can pick between JR and Nishitetsu as the situation calls, and daily shopping is handled within walking or cycling distance thanks to large malls and shopping streets. It is cheaper than downtown Fukuoka, so it is practical for families who want both commuting convenience and stability in settling down.

This is Onojo, a commuter town in southern Fukuoka, served by the JR Kagoshima Main Line and Nishitetsu. Two lines give good access to Hakata and Tenjin, rents are reasonable, and well-maintained residential streets and living infrastructure suit families settling down. However, as a satellite city with high dependence on the city center, its own entertainment district is small. It is a practical area for families and office workers who want commuting convenience, good value and stable housing.
