Fukuoka is a city known for its exceptional quality of life—a place where you can experience the best of modern urban living while still feeling at ease. Recognized by MONOCLE, the London-based global magazine, as one of the “World’s Most Livable Cities,” Fukuoka is celebrated for its warm, friendly community and its seamless blend of tradition and modernity.
At the heart of this vibrant city is Daimyo, one of Fukuoka’s most iconic neighborhoods. Once a thriving castle town, Daimyo has grown organically over the years, creating a charming labyrinth of narrow streets and alleys that connect an eclectic mix of shops and residences. Right next to Tenjin, one of Western Japan’s largest shopping districts, Daimyo offers a more intimate and relaxed experience. Here, you can stumble upon vintage clothing stores, enjoy a coffee at an artisanal café, or unwind at an independent bar—just steps away from the lively main streets.
