The United Nations releases the results of a survey called the World Happiness Ranking on March 20th, the International Day of Happiness, every year. Did you know that a similar survey is being conducted called the Japan Happiness Ranking? A private company called Brand Research Institute conducts surveys on the happiness levels of residents in each prefecture and publishes rankings. Three prefectures, Toyama, Ishikawa, and Fukui, ranked high in the survey.
