  Letter to the mayor of Miyakonojo Municipality about the removal of "sexual orientation" from the ...
Its proposed removal—by a process which has excluded the full input of citizens and civil society—would send a damaging message that your community is regressing from the promise of equality and its commitment to non-discrimination.
In response, Miyakonojo City in 2003 passed a human rights ordinance that affirmed the equality of people regardless of sexual orientation as well as gender.
However, Miyakonojo City was consolidated with three other towns in January 2006, and officials agreed that ordinances enacted before this would undergo review.

 Japan: Keep Equality Protections for Lesbians and Gays (Human Rights Watch, 14-9-2006)
In 2003 the southern Japanese city of Miyakonojo, located in Miyazaki prefecture, became one of the first cities in the country to include “sexual orientation” in its gender-equality ordinance.
Early this year, Miyakonojo was consolidated with three other towns, and officials agreed that all ordinances passed before that date would undergo review.
After a closed process, with no invitation for citizens or LGBT groups to present their views to the city assembly in hearings, a revision was proposed in which references to “gender” and “sexual orientation” were both dropped from key articles of the ordinance.

In 2003, Miyakonojo City in Miyazaki Prefecture, Kyushu, became the first municipality to recognize marriage between individuals of the same sex (or people of bisexual orientation).
Passed by the city assembly in 2002, it obliged businesses "at the earliest opportunity" to adopt a gender balance of employees; pay them equal wages; maintain an equal ratio of male-to-female managers; and apply the principle of "gender free" to all aspects of education and learning in the city's schools.
Like Miyakonojo, it was repealed earlier this year due to a merger between several municipalities.

 MIYAZAKI INVESTMENT GUIDE
Miyakonojo City has long flourished as the important transportation center for Southern Kyushu, where many national routes, railroads, and expressways come across.
The main industries in the park are food industries and other industries of local resources, however, many process and assembly plants for machinery and metalwork are coming into the scene, activating exchanges between local industries and new industries.
Moreover, because Miyakonojo is located adjacent to Kitamorokata-Gun and Soo-Gun of Kagoshima Prefecture, which structure a vast metropolitan area, the park has advantages in ensuring employees.

People were pouring out into the streets and there must have been at least eight fire trucks on the scene, both the volunteer fire department's and the real Miyakonojo Fire Department's vehicles.
The guy directing traffic away from the scene saw me and my uniform and the fact I was wearing a fireman's helmet and let me pass through into the blocked off area but I still had to park several blocks away.

A move to eliminate “sexual orientation” from a Japanese city’s groundbreaking antidiscrimination ordinance would be a damaging blow to the cause of full equality, gay activists at Human Rights Watch (HRW) said in a letter to the city’s mayor this week.
The city assembly of Miyakonojo has begun debating the proposed changes week but Scott Long, director of HRW’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights programme warned that equality should never be taken away.
He wrote in the letter to mayor Nagamine Makoto, “Rights should never be subject to repeal, a city that became a model of progress by affirming equal rights must not break its promises now.”
