Tomo
We have used this dorm since our school started. There are actually two buildings, close to each other. One houses about 50 students, and the other houses 10. The dorm is rated highly by students, except for its location - in a quiet area quite far from school. Most of the Japanese people living there study at the nearby Fukuoka Industrial University.
The owners are lovely people, and often arrange intercultural events and parties for our students. The "obasan" treats students like her own children, and the dorm feels like a large family (unlike the other dorms we contract with). There are also many chances to interact with Japanese people.
You must arrive by 9pm on the first day to check in at the dorm. On other days, there is no curfew.
