Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A multilingual reference site comparing wages, prices, employment, healthcare, pensions, and take-home pay across Japan's 47 prefectures.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The site organizes regional comparison around a national baseline of 100, then places wages, employment availability, household categories, and foreign-resident counts in the same prefecture rows. Its surrounding reference tools broaden the scope: the visible navigation cites a 2025 survey spanning 144 occupations and 47 prefectures, a pension lump-sum withdrawal calculator, net-salary comparisons, and hospitals with English support. A link to Japan's e-Stat Statistics Dashboard provides a visible source trail.
