I like living in Kumamoto but I’m glad I’m not working for minimum wage. Kumamoto is one yen from the bottom. The image I’ve added to this article is from this address:

You can see that minimum wage in Kumamoto is 788, one yen higher than Kagoshima and considerable lower than some other areas in Japan.
