The cost of living in Nakatsu is considerably less than that of more metropolitan areas.

Location:

Nakatsu City is a mid-sized city in northern Kyushu. It has a population of about 80,000 people and a rich Japanese history. It is big enough to be convenient, in regards to shopping and transportation, but small enough to retain its charm and lower living costs. It's home to Nakatsu castle, as well as many shrines, temples, festivals and parks. The yearly Nakatsu Gion festival is a major attraction of the area, as is the neighboring Usa Shrine, which is one of the most famous and important shrines in Japan. Nakatsu also boasts some very nice hiking trails, cycling paths and numerous hot springs. It is very conveniently located near larger cities like Kokura, Fukuoka, Oita and the hot springs resort city of Beppu -all of which are only a short distance away by train or car.
