TOKYO — Budget hotel chain operator Toyoko Inn Co made modifications to 77 of its 122 hotels across Japan after they had passed government inspections confirming they complied with building regulations, with violations detected in 60 of them, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said Monday.

The ministry said it has agreed with local authorities to consider filing a criminal complaint against the Tokyo-based company if the operator fails to obey orders to rectify violations — totaling 79 cases — at the 60 establishments. (Kyodo News)"
