A Japanese city has asked tourists not to eat while walking
Street food is a staple of many countries. But does that mean you should both buy and eat your food in the street?Kamakura, in the prefecture ofIn April, the city issued an official ordinance asking visitors not to eat while walking.
One major concern is trash from packaging and leftover food, which can attract animals and make a mess that locals will have to clean up.Kamakura is about 30 km southwest of Yokohama. It's home to some of the country's best-known temples, as well as for gorgeous beaches. A representative from Kamakura city told CNN that the ordinance -- which is posted in public areas -- was created to build awareness of the issue rather than to penalize travelers. There are no fines or citations for people who violate the request.In particular, Komachi-dori, a busy street with lots of shops, has been a focus of attention when it comes to eating outside.
Many Japanese people believe it is poor manners to walk or do other physical activities while eating because it means you're not appreciating your food properly. For some, this belief has its roots in World War II, when food was scarce and it was something to be treasured, not treated casually., a section of the city center has an outright ban on chowing down"on sidewalks, roadways and on the doorsteps of shops and houses.
