The Fukuoka Labor Bureau will raise the minimum hourly wage from 900 yen to 941 yen, effective October 6. This increase, the largest since 2002, follows recommendations from a review panel and aims to reflect the rising cost of living. Bureau Director Noriko Onodera emphasized the need to inform especially small and medium-sized businesses about the change and mentioned that proper price transfer mechanisms are important for the transition.
