The smoking area near JR Hamamatsucho was overflowing with litter.
As a smoker, I'm worried that the stand ashtray will be removed at some point if it continues to be dirty like this.
Except for cigarette butts, it is the best etiquette to take all garbage home with you.

As you can see in the image, Minato Ward implemented the "Minato Tobacco Rules" early in 1997.
Since then, we have been promoting the improvement of smoking etiquette.
However, if the smoking areas designated and installed by the ward are not used properly, complaints from pedestrians and neighboring residents could lead to the worst situation of having to remove them, which is regrettable.
