1 month stay in Fukuoka (F-appartment, etc.) 2014/9/28 13:04
Hi everyone,

I already have some clues about my question, but I would like to know if you know more about it ?

I want to go to Fukuoka for 1 month starting begininng of October (now I live in Tokyo).

I'd like it to be of course furnished and with all cost included and without all these crappy key money and stuff.
I want internet too (included or not I don't care but I need it when I arrive).

I heard about F-appartment, and some Hostel or Ryoukan but if possible I'd like to get it around 40 000 - 55 000 Yens or 2000 Yens/day. I don't care about the place but I want it to get downtown in 20 - 25 minutes by train (if not too expensive).

Do you have any website or company that could be interesting ?

I can also read japanese, so feel free to send me also japanese websites.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I checked it but the night is way to expensive for me. I don't really care about the size if I have enough to cook and the internet. I ll not be a lot at home as I'll be going around the city during the day.

Hmm yes I missed the "beginning of October" part. On such a short notice, it might be difficult... I see this one for 402 euros (55k yen, so it sort of fits in the budget you described above, albeit barely)

It has internet, but no kitchen.

Oh that's right 50 000 Yens. I'll keep in mind, thanks.

The man seems nice but it will not be my own appartment, that way I can go home when I want and settle my own schedule.

Since there are far fewer foreigners in Fukuoka compared to Tokyo, you will find far less selection of what you're looking for also.
There is one place at
http://www.wmt.co.jp/
that does have an option of searching Fukuoka though, but as was said, it's almost October already. And while it may be far less than what you want, there is
http://www.khaosan-fukuoka.com
which you could use if you have to, at least temporarily.
It is a great city to enjoy, with a lot of sights that are not known to the tourist guides and books. The Nanzoin great buddha is a superb place to visit and very enjoyable:

There is also another great buddha near Hakata Stn:

Thanks for the different sightseeing places, it will be helpful.

By the way i also forgot to mention it but I will use this short time to try to find a nice job (not a baito). I have a Master of International Marketing, I can speak English, Japanese (N2) and French and have 2 years of experience working as Project manager.

So if everyone know any company, or have any clue for my little job hunting there, it'll be helpful. At first I'll go of course to the hello work of Fukuoka.

Thanks
