The ICSI'2017 will be held in the center of the Fukuoka City. Historical city, Fukuoka, is the 5th largest city in Japan with 1.55 million populations and is the 7th most liveable city in the world according to the 2016 Quality of Life Survey by Monocle. Fukuoka locates at the northern end of the Kyushu Island and is the economic and cultural center of whole Kyushu Island. Because of its closeness to the Asian mainland, Fukuoka has been an important harbor city for many centuries. Today's Fukuoka is the product of the fusion of two cities in the year 1889, when the port city of Hakata and the former castle town of Fukuoka were united into one city called Fukuoka.
