A Tokyo-based nonprofit organization, Furusato Kaiki Shien Center, published a 2021 ranking of popular prefectures for relocators, and Fukuoka ranked second. Other Kyushu prefectures, including Kagoshima (14th) and Kumamoto (18th), also ranked higher than last year. The survey was conducted with the cooperation of 10,000 individuals who visited the center for relocation consultation or attended related events during 2021. Source: Furusato Kaiki Shien Center
