On the afternoon of January 1, 2026, a line of city buses could be seen on a city road in Kita-ku, Kyoto City. According to the Kyoto City Transportation Bureau, the area around Misonobashi Bridge was crowded with people making their first visit of the year to the nearby Kamigamo Shrine, causing around 30 city buses to become stranded. Some buses were reportedly stopped for over four hours, and drivers had to be replaced. (Photo taken from the passenger seat)
