Colive Fukuoka
コライブ福岡
Coliving
Colive Fukuoka is a nomad gathering program held every October in Fukuoka, Japan's fastest-growing startup city. It is not a physical coliving space but a city-wide, curated 10-day program for location-independent entrepreneurs, creators, and remote professionals who want to experience Fukuoka with a ready-made community around them.
The main program runs October 1-10, 2026, with an opening party on September 30. Events are spread across the city's best venues and include workshops, keynotes, cultural experiences, curated dinners, and access to RAMEN TECH, a global startup pitch summit co-located with the program. In 2025, the gathering drew 496 participants from 57 countries, with 45% Japanese and 39% entrepreneurs. It won "Best Global Nomad Fest" at the Nomad Retreats Award 2025.
Passes range from a free community membership (with pay-per-event access) to a Standard pass (from €269 early-bird), a Premium pass with nightly dinners and coworking lounge access (from €539), and a Pop-up Coliving optioncovering September 24 to October 17. Participants arrange their own accommodation. The team provides curated recommendations and accommodation partner deals. Dietary options at events are not confirmed and vary by venue.
The year-round community stays active online with a free membership that includes city information, an events calendar, and updates. Multiple participants return year after year, citing the mix of local and international community as the main draw.
