Prime Minister Kishida will move out of his current residence in Akasaka, Tokyo, and move into the Prime Minister's Office this weekend in order to take all possible measures in response to emergencies such as disasters.
Prime Minister Kishida has continued to live in the House of Representatives' dormitory in Akasaka, Tokyo, near the Diet, even after assuming the post of Prime Minister. We have been considering whether to move in, such as by using the official residence adjacent to the Prime Minister's Office.
As a result,
▽ to take all possible measures to respond to emergencies such as disasters
, and
▽
to reduce the burden of security for transportation to and from the
parliamentary dormitory, we will move out of the parliamentary dormitory and move into the official residence this weekend. It was decided.
Former Prime Minister Koizumi and Prime Minister Fukuda have moved into the Prime Minister's Office, while Prime Ministers Abe and Suga have not moved into the official residence since the second Cabinet, but instead go to the official residence from their homes or parliamentary dormitories. The opposition party criticized that it would take time to respond to an emergency.
