🍻 Social Life
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Fukuoka is a underrated city when it comes to city to go while in japan, there is almost no tourists compared to osaka or kyoto. The most popular bar is the Ibiza close to the tenjin train station they are very friendly to internationals people, almost every bar are great just avoid bar or restaurants where there is lookalike display of food in froot because it’s mostly not great. For bar near the dormitory you can go to Manmaru Nishitetsu Futsukaichi Ekimae it’s a great izakaya close to the school. But don’t forget thet they may check your age in places that are only bars.

💡 Other Tips
Make friend with as many people as possible wether they are international students like you or japanesse student at your campus, or people at bars. Japanesse people don’t often make the first move but they are very cool. If you speak a little bit of japanesse you will do great. If you can always engage a conversation with a new people in japanese because they most of the times don’t know english that well.
