You could check Fukuoka Now online magazine, but I don't know if they handle such ads.
Personally, 2 weeks isn't a long time to wait, and I would have serious reservations about being able to find a place through online connections.
Think about it. Would you figure a foreigner in your own country would have success renting a place through an online ad? References may be needed. Guarantors are certainly needed most of the time in Japan, which assumes you have a job already. Otherwise, look for gaijin houses. |

| why dont you see if there is a real estate service catering specifically to foreigners who can show you around when you get there, and allow you to choose an apartment for yourself. Stay in gaijin houses in the meantime. |
