What`s good about your area?

[Speed]

The trains are really good. Always on time.

The girlies with mini-skirts, knee high boots, and fish net stockings are pretty good too.

I have extremely easy access to my bank, convenience stores, a 24 hour supermarket, 100 yen shop, restaurants, the ward office, a small hospital, and many other shops. The bus stop is at the end of the block. In front of the apartment is a major street, so it gets plowed rapidly in winter. My building is brand new, and the owner/manager works next door. My wife's family lives only 15 minutes walk away (5 minutes by car).

16 min train ride to one of my schools.

A planned community with green spaces.

Cheap super, vegetable stand, liquor shop and post office 1 min walk from my door.

8 min walk to station.

45 min train ride to Takao san and somehting of a natural area.

If forced to live near Tokyo this is a good location!

I live in Fukuoka, and I love it. There is a great public library, plenty of fabulous restaurants and cultural activities going on, decent transportation service so that it is more convenient to take the subway than to drive. There is an international airport, major shinkansen station, and international ferry port so that going on vacation from here does not require too much effort. There are nice beaches and a few really nice parks for picnics.

One stop from the Shinkansen

Nice modern apartment with my own stairs

Quiet neighborhood

10 min. walk to the station

Near Tokyo and the mountians


Nearest station is the terminal for about half the the trains. Which means they also start from there. Nice in the morning when you can sit down before all the crowds come and pack in like cattle.
