Please book your course at least two weeks before when you do not need accommodation in Fukuoka.

Tourist Visa

Europeans will receive a tourist visa upon arrival at the airport. This will allow you to stay in Japan for three months, but it can be extended for another three months. Please check with your Japanese Embassy for more details.

Health and Insurance

Be sure to have a health check in your home country before you come. It is advisable to arrange private travel/hospitalization insurance as hospitalization is very expensive in Japan.

Money in Japan

Many restaurants accept Visa or Mastercard; however, it can be difficult to withdraw cash with a non-Japanese bank card. Therefore, it is advisable to bring a sufficient amount of cash or traveler's checks to cover your expected expenses in Japan.
