Kitakyushu City has proposed a ¥1.06 billion budget for upgrading school and park toilets as part of its initiative to create a more comfortable environment for women. The plan includes converting all elementary and junior high school toilets to Western-style over three years, with ¥1.066 billion allocated for upgrades at 30 schools in the upcoming fiscal year. Additionally, ¥5 million has been earmarked to improve park toilets, starting with Katsuyama Park in Kokurakita Ward. This initiative aims to address the city’s ongoing trend of population outflow among women in their 20s and 30s. Source: NHK
