Takaichi Says Official Residence Is Her Workplace
Takaichi says working from the official residence lets her respond faster and reduce the burden on staff and security officers.
- On Aug 22, 2026, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said she uses her official residence as a workplace to maximize efficiency, responding to claims that she tends to seclude herself at home.
- Media reports indicate Takaichi has been avoiding parliamentary sessions and largely staying at the residence, with significantly less interaction with other lawmakers and officials than her predecessors.
- Takaichi said she reinforced office functions at the residence, or 'kotei,' to "reduce the burden on staff at the prime minister's office," allowing her to make necessary judgments and hold meetings remotely or in person.
- Her disclosure that "Zero to three hours of sleep has become the norm" while handling household chores triggered criticism that Japan's first female leader is setting a poor example for gender-equality.
- Takaichi has seen support ratings drop while pushing unpopular policies, including a revision to the Imperial House Law to maintain a male-only succession system, while delaying economic measures to address rising prices.
