計画停電京都Power shortages are no longer just a news report; they are beginning in Kyoto soon.
At the bicycle lot near Demachiyanagi and the Kamo River, a sign is posted announcing the days and times when power will be off. For example, today, July 7, the lights will be out from 8:30 am until 11 am.
This presents a bit of a problem: the lot is underground. We are not sure what if any provisions the staff have prepared for people who want to park or retrieve their bikes at this time.
Flashlights?
At the Kyoto Municipal Gymnasium, over on the west side of town, a similar sign was posted, however without any dates.
According to one of the men who works there, "We won't know until the night before. If Kanden [Kansai Electric] calls us, the next morning or afternoon - as noted on the posting - we will be closed."
No volleyball, no ping pong, no training gym.
Local schools as well may close, if only for half days.
Hospitals, police stations, hotels, etc. will not experience blackouts.
