Tokyo,
During a coup attempt in Japan in 1963, several senior government officials, including a minister, were shot dead as soldiers stormed the prime minister’s official residence in the capital, Tokyo.
Then came the myth that there were ghosts in the Prime Minister’s official residence. Thus some Prime Ministers avoided staying at that official residence.
Both Shinzo Abe, who served as prime minister for eight consecutive years, and Yoshihide Suka, who served only one year after him, avoided staying at the prime minister’s official residence.
In this context, many asked Pumio Kishido, who took over as Japan’s new prime minister last October, to avoid staying at the prime minister’s official residence.
But despite that, Bumio Kishido moved to the Prime Minister’s official residence the day before yesterday. He was interviewed by reporters yesterday about how he spent the first day there.
Then he said, “Last night I slept well. I have never seen a demon in that mansion before. ”
