The Agency for Cultural Affairs will start full-scale operations in Kyoto on the 15th. Not a single remote response had been made, such as by explaining to members of the Diet.

Most of the staff from the six departments will move to the government building in Kyoto. The agency estimates that there are 2019,2020 business trips to Tokyo a year without being able to respond remotely, and has included about 212 million yen in this fiscal year's budget. It is difficult to respond online while other ministries and agencies attend face-to-face.
