福岡市は「西区」の時代です。

Fukuoka City is in the era of "Nishi Ward".

"

Areas far from the "center" of local cities, not just Tokyo, are becoming more and more popular.

The Tokyo East area, including Tateishi, where I stopped by on my business trip to Tsukiji the day before,

Even the locals say it's an area that will attract attention in the future.

There seem to be a large number of stores opening in the Kuramae to Kameari area, regardless of size.

Personally, I feel that it is not the previous Shibuya or Shinjuku area,

I find the places that are far from the center more interesting.

In Fukuoka City, the Tenjin area is still crowded with people.

It seems like the number of foreign tourists has returned to a level close to pre-coronavirus levels.

Honestly, apart from the popular restaurants, I can't help but feel that it lacks hustle and bustle.

In anticipation of this, I set up my shop in Nishi Ward, far from the center.

Necessity pretending to be a coincidence...(lol)

Actually, when I moved from Hiroshima, I thought about moving to the center.

We asked all the real estate agents about ``places that will develop in the future'' in Fukuoka City, where we had no familiarity with the area.

About seven years ago, I heard that Kyushu University was moving to a location between Fukuoka City and Itoshima City.

Speaking of Kyushu University, it is one of the most difficult universities in western Japan.

There used to be a school building in Higashi Ward, but it was aging.

The new location is on the border with Itoshima City, which is now attracting attention from all over the world.

The newly built actual school building is large-scale, like a "city."

The fortress-like school building that suddenly appears in the mountains is a sight to behold.

Along with this, the number of dormitories near universities seems to be increasing.

Every time I visit, I feel that new apartments are popping up and the town is developing.

Recently, a new spot has opened near Kyushu University.

"ITO GRAND" is said to have some of the most famous stores in Tokyo.

I think this will attract even more attention from now on.

However, it's extremely hot right now and it's too hot outside (lol)

When it gets a little cooler in the fall, I want to eat on the terrace!

And what we are really grateful for is...

For someone like me who enjoys visiting bookstores and reading books, I found the perfect ``Tsutaya Bookstore.''

I used to use Mark Is Momochi and Ropponmatsu store until now,

It's really convenient because it's close to my home and the store isn't crowded.

There are many other restaurants inside the store, and the frequency of use is confirmed to be 2 times a week!

It's about a 10 minute drive from there,

There are many cafes and restaurants along the coast towards Itoshima.

You can enjoy the fun that is unique to this season.

It takes about 15 minutes by car from Meinohama, where our shop is located, to Kyudai-mae.

On the way, you can see the sea as you drive along the coastline,

It's a good course for driving and touring,

Imajuku, on the way, is a paradise-like town.

Da Ciruzzo is the only pizzeria in town that I have visited several times.

Not only the taste, but also the interior and exterior of the restaurant have a local feel.

The strong herbal seasoning, like the one I had in Italy,

It is not a weak thing to adapt to the Japanese tongue,

It gives you the illusion that you are in Italy.

Now that my younger child has grown up, I think we'll go every weekend from September onwards (lol).

This area is always crowded with a famous vegetable market called ``Ito Nasai.''

It seems like new bakeries are opening.

In fact, it is one of the most popular areas in Fukuoka City.

And like a seaside town...

The water fireworks that are held right in front of Nagatari Park are spectacular.

The sight of large fireworks exploding in front of your eyes is sure to be an unforgettable memory.

Trains running through carefully selected shops and coastal towns,

You could call it the "Kamakura" of the west.

Well, it's not that fancy, but

There are big Aeons, Don Quijote, etc.

I think it's a very comfortable and great place to live.

If you are thinking of moving or emigrating to Fukuoka City,

I definitely recommend the Nishi Ward area.

It's better to have a car if possible, but

Another good thing about Nishi Ward is that you can get everything done without asking for too much.

If you go west from Meinohama, prices are cheaper, nature is richer, and it is easier to live.

I think I'll move within the year (lol)
