Let’s Create a “Clean, Safe and Comfortable City to Live in”, Ashiya!
We have regulations, which are called the “Citizens’ Manner Ordinance” in Ashiya City to be abided by the citizens to create a “Clean, Safe and Comfortable City to Live in”.

1.Some places have a ban on smoking (Article 9 and Article 21)
There are some designated smoking areas in public places (e.g. roads, parks, rivers, sea, where citizens can enter freely), even if they are within the No Smoking Areas (places where smoking is banned). If you smoke outside of the designated smoking areas, you will have to pay 2,000 yen. Smoking while walking, cycling, and standing on pavements and roads is prohibited within the No Smoking Areas.

≪Designated Smoking Areas within the No Smoking Areas≫
◎Around Hankyu Ashiyagawa Sta.: Near Hankyu Ashiyagawa Sta. North Bicycle Parking
◎Around JR Ashiya Sta.: #2F Pedestrian Deck
◎Around Hanshin Ashiya Sta.: Ashiya City Hall North Square
◎Around Hanshin Uchide Sta.: Hanshin Uchide Sta.: North Gate

2.Do not spoil our towns by discarding cigarette butts and empty cans. (Article 10)
Leaving waste such as cigarette butts and empty cans without putting in garbage bins in public places (e.g. roads, parks, rivers, sea, where citizens can enter freely) is prohibited. If you do not abide by the rules, you will have to pay a fine up to 100,000 yen.

3.Do not smoke while walking. (Article 7)
Smoking while walking and cycling on the roads and in the parks is prohibited. Smoking while walking is dangerous for small children because when you lower your arm, your lit cigarette will be the same level as that of small children’s faces.
