- Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has moved into the 1929 brick-and-stone official residence next to her office and is treating it as a workplace to avoid commuting and hold meetings remotely or in person.

- The residence has a spooky past (1930s coup attempts and ghost stories); Takaichi joked about screaming at cockroaches but says she hasn't seen any ghosts.
