Tourist areas across Tochigi have widely adopted street-smoking bans, with fines for violations. Indoors, the revised Health Promotion Act mandates smoke-free environments by default; smokers must use a designated smoking room, a heated-tobacco-only room, or an outdoor designated smoking spot.
The park is entirely non-smoking and fire-prohibited to protect the flowers. Smoking only at designated areas of the parking outside the entrance. Many families — please be considerate of secondhand smoke.
