Living in Yakuin

A calm atmosphere where stylish cafes, small shops and the offices of major companies are mixed together, instead of large commercial facilities. Tenjin is effectively one stop away, and Hakata is reachable without transfers on the Nanakuma Line. It is well regarded enough to rank third in the Fukuoka Prefecture edition of the neighborhood-people-want-to-live-in ranking (2024), and since the 2023 extension of the Nanakuma Line to Hakata, market prices have been rising noticeably.

This is a popular residential area one stop from Tenjin, where the Nishitetsu Line meets the subway Nanakuma Line. Regarded as one of Fukuoka's good places to live, with stylish cafes and popular restaurants, it is close to the city center yet calm, and preferred by both single people and families. Rents have risen with its growing popularity. It especially suits office workers and families who want both access to Tenjin and a well-kept living environment.
