Yoshiyama Hidetaka

Yoshiyama Hidetaka is the mayor of Osaka who announced a significant relief measure in response to rising living costs. Starting in October, the city will waive basic water and sewer fees for three months, a move expected to alleviate financial pressure on residents and businesses amid inflation. This initiative will impact approximately 1.77 million contracts, representing a substantial financial commitment from the city government, which plans to submit a bill to the city council to formalize this action.
