Before you book: 6 questions to ask
Does the property accept students at my school?
What is the total monthly fee, beyond advertised rent?
Are deposits, entrance fees and cleaning charged separately?
Is a Japanese guarantor or guarantee company required?
Can I cook? Are meals optional and suitable for my diet?
What are the cancellation rules and commute costs?
A little taste of home.
02 / EAT WELL, SPEND THOUGHTFULLY
Rice, dal, and a new routine.
Cooking familiar meals can make a new city feel like home. Start with rice, lentils, vegetables and spices; compare unit prices and share larger packs with flatmates.

Bulk staples, frozen ingredients and everyday groceries. Compare shelf prices—this is a shopping option, not a cheapest-price guarantee.
Check each product’s certification and ingredients, including sauces, gelatin and cooking alcohol. A supermarket or dorm meal plan is not automatically halal. Ask about preparation too.
03 / YOUR JOURNEY TO CLASS
Your first trip to AIWA, made simpler.
Practise the route before your first class. Keep the school’s Japanese name and address saved on your phone.

Arriving at Fukuoka Airport?
From the international terminal, take the free shuttle to the domestic terminal for the subway. For the Hakozaki Line, change at Nakasu-Kawabata towards Kaizuka and get off at Maidashi-Kyūdai-byōin-mae. Check the train destination and live route before boarding.
Register your address first. Prepare your residence card with your current address and your student ID or enrolment certificate.
Ask Japan Post Bank or your chosen bank about its application channel and any extra documents, contact number or seal it requires.
Use your own legal name consistently. Applications are reviewed; opening an account and all services are not guaranteed immediately.
Check your period of stay
Japan Post Bank asks you to renew first if your permitted stay expires within three months of applying. Ask the bank which services are available to a newly arrived student.

Fukuoka Masjid is in Hakozaki. Check visitor arrangements directly. Student events and language exchanges can also help you meet people from Bangladesh, Japan and beyond.
02
Get the everyday basics right
Ask your building about rubbish collection, quiet hours and bicycle parking. Save your nearest evacuation location and keep water, a power bank and essential supplies ready.
Check permission and conditions for part-time work with AIWA and the Immigration Services Agency before you start. Your study timetable and attendance come first. Do not budget on unconfirmed future wages.
