The “free love affair” of Kyoto’s “too beautiful city councilor” who was reportedly “in trouble with men and police” over allegations of “politics and money.
The issue of politics and money has spread to local assembly members, and here in Kyoto, there has been a lot of talk recently about “city assembly members who are too beautiful,” says a source in the political world in Kyoto.
This is what a source in Kyoto’s political circles told us.
＜Yamashu, a Kyoto city council member of the Liberal Democratic Party, routinely uses his own car for “visitors” and has obtained a garage permit.
The following article appeared in the Kyoto Shimbun on November 30. It reported that Maiko Yamashu, 41, a member of the Kyoto City Council of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), parks her own car in a parking lot she rents with funds from her political activity fund.
The article stated that the garage certificate for the private car was also “for visitors,” raising the issue of personal use of political activity funds.
This news was also broadcast by the local Kyoto Broadcasting Corporation, and this month’s “NEWS POST SEVEN” reported that Yamashu was suspected of “election bribery.
She is a madonna to the local political and business circles, so she is attracting even more attention.
What kind of person is this Yamashu City Council member?
According to her website, she attended school in her hometown of Kyoto from elementary school through high school, and “after graduating from Osaka Sangyo University, she worked for JAL and other private companies.
It also says that she ran for Kyoto City Councilor for the first time in 2011, but was unsuccessful in her runner-up position, and that she ran again for Kyoto City Councilor in 2015, winning the election for the first time.
A political insider said, “Originally, she was a member of a local political party.
She was originally a city councilor for the Kyoto Party, a regional political party, but left the party in 2016. The Kyoto Party expelled her on the grounds that it was a breach of trust to voters to leave the party after running for office twice as an official candidate. She then joined the LDP with the backing of the office of her local Kyoto councilor, Shoji Nishida. Some people assume from the profile she has posted and her looks that she was a CA for JAL before becoming a city councilor, but in fact she worked for a JAL affiliate (when interviewed by this magazine, Yamashu replied, “I worked for a JAL group company called JAL Sky Osaka Co.) After that, I worked for a real estate leasing company.”
In response to the Kyoto Shimbun report, Yamashu wrote on his Facebook page
＜The title of the Kyoto Shimbun report is “Private car in garage for political activity expenses,” which itself is wrong and factually incorrect to begin with. Since the settlement of political activity expenses is made at the end of the fiscal year, it is not a garage for political activity expenses, but a parking lot under my personal contract, so whether or not I park my private car there is no problem at all.

＜I am currently responding to the Kyoto Shimbun by sending a letter of protest through my lawyer regarding the defamation.
＜I have no idea what the hell this article is trying to say! ＞I have no idea what the article is trying to say!
He took a picture of the entire page of the Kyoto Shimbun and posted it on his Facebook page, saying, “It doesn’t matter.
