Fukuoka's great potential

摘要

Fukuoka is renowned as Japan's gateway to continental Asia due to its close proximity and significance as an economic and cultural centre. It was here in 1911 that Kyushu University was founded as Japan's fourth-oldest former imperial university. Throughout its 100-year history, the university has consistently provided the highest levels of education, research and medical resources, and it continues to grow together with the city of Fukuoka, in which it is located.
