An accident occurred at the Rinkokaku, a national important cultural property in Otemachi, Maebashi City, where part of the building was damaged during the filming of a drama. The accident occurred around 8:00 a.m. on the 23rd in the corridor on the south side of the second floor of the Rinkokaku Annex. A staff member left lighting equipment on the floor without turning it off, and the heat from the equipment caused the floor to burn about 12 centimeters in diameter. The blue tarp melted, producing smoke and setting off the fire alarm. Staff noticed something was wrong and turned off the power, but the floorboards were already charred.

Maebashi City has reported the details of the accident to the national and prefectural governments, and is currently in discussions for repairs.
