Tokyo, Japan, has implemented new regulations aimed at reducing littering, particularly in tourist-heavy areas. Effective June 1, those caught littering will face an on-the-spot fine of 2,000 Japanese yen (approximately £10). This initiative targets popular districts such as Shibuya, known for its iconic Scramble Crossing, and the pedestrian routes around the Meiji Shrine and Takeshita Street. Authorities hope that by enforcing these fines, they can improve cleanliness and generate revenue from tourists who may inadvertently violate the rules. Approximately 50 inspectors will patrol Shibuya Ward around the clock, ensuring compliance with the new laws. In addition to fines for individuals, businesses that fail to provide adequate waste disposal options will face penalties of 50,000 yen (around £230). This move reflects Tokyo's commitment to maintaining its reputation as a clean and orderly city, especially as it attracts millions of visitors each year.
