Fukuoka Prefecture denies ever approving foreigner condo plan


Fukuoka Prefecture denies online posts claiming the city has approved construction of a condo for foreigners in Asakura City, Fukuoka Prefecture.

According to the prefecture, the apartment complex is planned for a site adjacent to a golf course in Asakura City. According to the city, the developer held a briefing to local residents in May of last year where it was explained to build two 14-story apartment buildings on a site of approximately 18,000 square meters, with 290 households and 705 residents. It was also explained that the residents are expected to be 40% from China, 40% from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and 20% from Japan and South Korea, and that they are considering building a total of six buildings in the future.

The contractor discussed about the condo to the prefecture, but the prefecture has never given permission for the construction. However, there were misinformation on social media about the prefecture granting permission to build a condo which resulted in the prefecture receiving around 100 inquiries by email and phone since late August.

  1. Damn, China no longer even needs to sable rattle its army anymore. Just a couple of information centers pumping out bullshit about foreigners in Twitter and Japanese public administration tumbles. This is what happens when you neglect to engage in politics for decades.

  2. A building in Japan, where the developers expect 80% of residents to be foreign. Where exactly do they advertise and or get such a low number of Japanese… I’d complain too.
