futsuu
fubin
fukiken
fukisoku
furigana
furikomi
futeki
fumei
fune
fuan
fuben
etc....
most japanese words that begin with F will be followed by u but there are some adapted words like family. if you can write in katakana you will understand what i mean: ファミリー
pronounced famirii but in the actual writing, the fu is still there but the addition of an a (the smaller character) offsets the sound to turn fu --> fa

There is only one syllable beginning with 'f' in the Japanese alphabet, which is 'fu'. Words beginning with 'fu' include:
Fuji-san (Mount Fuji)
Fune (boat)
***** (neighbourhood)
Fuku (clothing)
Fude (writing brush), etc.
Because of more westernised words being adopted into the Japanese language, other syllables beginning with 'f' have also been included; such as:
Firumu (film)
Fooku (fork)

There is a letter "fu" in the Japanese alphabet . . . so your best bet is to look up a word that starts with fu . . . like "fuji", the example from a couple people above.
Some others: futa, futo, fuku, fukei, fue, fugu . . . .

futon; pronounced: foo-tone, the springless floor matress that are popular in dorm rooms. futari; meaning two when counting people. and furuutsu jusu; a loaner word meaning fruit juice. that's all for now... but there are more out there.

Uh... no, because Japanese does not have the letter F.
