ソルト
A coworking and community space in Imajuku, Nishi Ward, occupying five floors of a seaside building a short walk from Imajuku Station. SALT is run by a local operator with a clear philosophy. Mix companies, freelancers, and the surrounding neighbourhood to generate something useful. It has been operating since at least 2018 and has a reputation as one of Fukuoka's more community-oriented coworking venues outside the central Tenjin area.
The building covers a wide range of use cases across its floors. Alongside the coworking area, there is a shared kitchen, a fabrication lab, rental event spaces, and a workation offering for stays. Small offices are listed on the Google Maps profile, though those are currently listed as full. Drop-in visitors use the coworking floor. Reception is on the 3rd floor.
Drop-in is available weekdays 10:00 to 18:00 and requires a reservation in advance. Monthly members on the fixed-desk plan get 24-hour access. The free-address plan runs 6:00 to 24:00. A weekend and holiday plan (6:00 to 24:00) is also available for those who work outside standard weekdays. Parking is available on-site, which makes this a good option if you are driving from elsewhere in Fukuoka rather than commuting by train.
Imajuku is not central Fukuoka. It sits on the Chikuhi Line in the west of the city, roughly 30 minutes from Tenjin by train. The tradeoff is a quieter, less crowded workspace near the sea with a more local character than the downtown options. The Google Maps profile shows 29 reviews with a perfect 5.0 rating, which is unusually strong for a coworking space.
Food on-site is not confirmed from available data. The shared kitchen suggests some self-catering is possible, but whether it is open to drop-in visitors or members only is not clear. Dietary options at SALT are not confirmed in the available sources. The Imajuku area has local restaurants and convenience stores nearby.

SALT has been building a local community in Imajuku since at least 2018. The operator co-founded the Coworking School Camp, a national programme that has brought together coworking operators from across Japan. Events at SALT have included exhibitions, local markets (the Imajuku Kaidomachi fair at Ninomiya Shrine), and external brand showrooms. The mix of residents and regular visitors tends to be local freelancers, small business operators, and people from the surrounding neighbourhood rather than a transient nomad crowd.
Local markets, exhibitions, and community workshops. Check salt.today for upcoming events.
From Imajuku Station on the Chikuhi Line, walk approximately 3 minutes to the Malibu Imajuku Seaside Terrace building. Reception is on the 3rd floor. Drop-in visits require a prior reservation. On-site parking is available for those driving.
Imajuku is a coastal neighbourhood in Nishi Ward, on the western edge of Fukuoka city. The area sits along the shores of Imajuku Bay, bordered by quiet residential streets and open sea views. It has a slower pace than central Fukuoka, with a local character shaped more by families and long-term residents than by the office and nightlife crowds of Tenjin or Hakata.
Getting here from central Fukuoka takes roughly 30 minutes by train. Imajuku Station sits on the Chikuhi Line, which branches off the Kuko (Airport) Line at Meinohama. The area is also easily reached by car from elsewhere in Fukuoka, and parking is more available here than in the city centre.
