Kitakyushu and Fukuoka are, respectively, the last stations on the Shinkansen high speed rail line that starts in Tokyo. The larger and more prosperous of the two urban areas is Fukuoka. The trip to Fukuoka started at Kyoto Station, from which I took the Shinkansen southward to Kitakyushsu, another urban area of more than 1,000,000. Kitakyushu and Fukuoka are barely 30 miles apart, but there is a mountain range Hakata Station Fukuoka 1 and a good deal of open space between the two. It would probably be correct to consider Fukuoka and Kitakyushu a single metropolitan area (labor market).
