Tenjin Campus Access: Tenjin Station (Fukuoka City Subway, Airport Line), West Exit 1 – about 2 minutes on foot
A second campus, Fukuoka YMCA Gakuin in Nanakuma (Jonan-ku), is reached via the Nanakuma subway line to Chayama Station (about a 10-minute walk), or a Nishitetsu bus from the Araeda-danchi stop (about a 5-minute walk).
