FY2023 Hourly Minimum Wage Per Prefecture in Japan 

The Japan Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) has released the hourly minimum wage for each prefecture, which will be effective from October 2023.

Accepting Organizations, Implementing Organizations, and other Employers/Principals, are advised to adhere to the minimum wage requirements set by the MHLW.

Moreover, Filipino TITP(i) trainees who arrived in Japan in 2022 and early 2023 and who are currently being paid less than the new minimum wage should have their salaries adjusted accordingly.

For your information and cooperation.
