CIR's are paid the exact same as JET programme ALT's even though they certainly do more work compared to the majority of ALT's. Tokyo doesn't need any CIR's because it is an international city. And lastly, being hired as a CIR is difficult because not only are they few in numbers but also many JET ALT veterans apply for the positions each year from within Japan. Did you notice as well though that the number of CIR's is higher in the most isolated prefectures?
