We spent four weeks studying Japanese at GenkiJACS in Fukuoka. We learnt so much in so little time… Teachers were great craic and did not just teach Japanese but also gave us a lot of good tips on what to see and do in Fukuoka and in Japan! On graduation day, it was sad to say goodbye!
A fellow French student from the GenkiJACs school took Dave and I for lunch to Chikae, an amazing Japanese restaurant. In the evenings, it’s what’s called a “very expensive restaurant” but they have that amazing lunch deal for 1,500 Yens (about 15 euros) where you get a huge set meal including sushi, tempura, crab soup and other wonders… We were told they cook about 400 set meals and when they’ve all been eaten, you have to go “A La Carte” or leave… Food was deliciously fresh! No wonder, the fish are alive, swimming in tanks in the middle of the restaurant, until you order them for your lunch! Japan loves freshness… Bon appétit!
We had a great time in Fukuoka! We went to school every day to study Japanese as well as experiencing the Fukuoka life. We met some great people on the course and also friends of friends who showed us around. We rented a furnished studio during the time of the course. It was conveniently located 15mn walk from the school. Our area was full of delightful restaurants, some of them were just “yatai” (outdoor stalls) very popular during summer!
