Patrol teams in Shibuya caught 34 people littering over the first three days of a new ordinance, according to city officials.
Patrol teams began operating on the streets of Shibuya under a new ordinance in early June. They caught 10 people on the first day, 15 on the second day and nine on the third day. City officials reported these figures as the initial enforcement results following the ordinance's start. The patrols form part of measures to address local waste issues. The effort aligns with Shibuya Ward's steps to strengthen environmental protection. No details on specific penalties were mentioned in the announcement.
