Agriculture Minister Yanagi under fire over free bus allegations

Original: 簗大臣何をした

Japanese Agriculture Minister Kimi Onoda, referred to as Yanagi in search queries, is facing scrutiny over allegations that free buses were provided to supporters at a political event. She explained the buses covered only part of venue costs, drawing criticism from within the LDP. Opposition figures have called for her resignation or dismissal by the Prime Minister over remarks about cutting road budgets, while commentators debate whether she should remain a minister.

Why now: Fresh allegations about free buses at her event and opposition resignation demands have made the minister a trending topic in Japan.
