Kirk here. “Gunma and Kumamoto were among the top 10 for four years in a row, while Kyoto has been out of the top 10 since 2020.” Not particularly surprising but good to hear nonetheless. (Good for Kumamoto and Gunma, that is; not so much so for Kyoto.) ;)
P.S. The quote actually reads “four years in raw” but that’s obviously a typo. The article has a link to the Japanese that your can refer to if the quality of the English bothers you and you would prefer to read the original text.
