Moving to Fukui

Expatriates moving to Fukui will probably find the easiest route into the city is to fly to the nearby Komatsu Airport, from which you can get a bus or taxi to the nearby Komatsu Station, which runs regular trains to Fukui costing around US $8. We have a comprehensive collection of articles and general information on expatriation in our specially compiled Expat Magazine on the InterNations website. This is a useful way to get the information you need on topics ranging from cross-cultural communication and living abroad to international insurance. Expats moving to Fukui can also get a great picture of the ups and downs of expatriation from our various articles written by other InterNations members – these are often a great way to take a ‘sneak preview’ of what lies ahead for expatriates lucky enough to be moving to Fukui or other foreign cities.
