Open-Air Burning (noyaki) is Prohibited. ［野焼きは禁止されています]
We have received many complaints about open burning, such as burning branches, weeds, food scraps, and other wastes
in the field. Open-air burning causes trouble with neighbors for deterioration of the living environment due to moke and odors,
and incineration at low temperatures produces toxic substances such as dioxins, which affect the human body and are one of thecauses of fires and air pollution.
Please do not burn in the fields as it is prohibited by law. Even in cases where the following exceptions apply, we ask that theutmost consideration be given so as not to interfere with the surrounding living environment.
■Exceptions- When using an incinerator that meets structural standards- Local customary events (e.g. Dondo-Yaki, etc.)- Religious ceremonies (e.g. Otakiage at at shrines, etc.)- Activites conducted as a part of school curriculum (e.g. campfires to be held at schools)
