Is Fukuoka a good place to build and grow a startup?

I’m from Fukuoka and have seen the startup scene grow a lot lately. Some thoughts:

• Government is super supportive (Startup City program, easy visa for founders).

• Cost of living and rent are way cheaper than Tokyo or Osaka.

• People here are friendly and open — good community vibe. Lots of foreigners too

• Many coworking spaces and events for startups now.

• You might still need to visit Tokyo for investors or clients sometimes, but its easy with bullet train.

Overall, great place if you want a relaxed lifestyle and steady growth for your startup.

I saw this post earlier today too. Might help give a better understanding of Fukuoka. 

Hope you manage to set up there!
