Environment
Our school is located close to the heart of Fukuoka, a city that is currently attracting widespread interest for its reputation as Japan's most vibrant city. Since ancient times right through to the present, Fukuoka has remained wide open to the Asian Continent, playing an important role in the introduction of knowledge and culture to Japan. Right next to the school is Fukuoka's busiest commercial district. The Fukuoka City Museum was the stage for G7 Summit of July 2000, in which the Finance Ministers and Central Bankers of the world's leading powers gathered.
