Fumio Kishida was recently asked if he sleeps well in the official residence. The reason is ghosts. Believe it or not, the Japanese people are concerned about their Prime Minister’s ability to sleep and live peacefully in the official PM residence, known as Sri Daijin Kantei. They’re curious to know about seeing any ghosts in the house. Apparently, Kishida is sharing the house with ghosts.
One of the most famous pieces of real estate in central Tokyo is the official residence of Japan’s Prime Minister. Despite its functionality, services, interior design, architecture, and prime location, it has it all. But here’s the catch, the residence has not been occupied in the last nine years. Because of its connection to the 1936 massacre. This home is supposedly under the possession of ghosts. The property was the site of a failed coup attempt in 1936. During the time several senior officials were brutally assassinated military officers. Some believe that the ghosts of the assassinated government officials have haunted the residence’s corridors since then.

Fumio Kishida has now moved into the official Prime Minister’s residence after nine years. And he claims to be sleeping well. When local reporters asked the leader if he had seen any ghosts, he responded, “I haven’t seen any yet.” He also states he “slept soundly yesterday,” jokingly assuaging concerns about the PM’s ‘spiritual safety in his new home. The stone and brick mansion is a two-story, 5,183-square-meter (55,789-square-foot) building built-in 1929. It is diagonally adjacent to Tokyo’s National Diet Building. Unlike previous leaders, Kishida has decided to move into the building to be closer to the prime minister’s office in the event of an emergency.
