"A stir was caused in the municipal government of Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture when it was revealed that workers in the welfare division were wearing and using customized merchandise while on duty."
I don't understand why "when "is used? I think "where "is better.

"When" refers to time, the time when the information was revealed. "Where" refers to place or location. The time of the reveal was more important than the place.

It was caused WHEN it was revealed, It is telling us the moment it was caused, not the place.
