Japan PM calls official residence "workplace," sees cockroach but not ghosts

TOKYO - Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said Saturday she uses her official residence near her office as a workplace, in an apparent response to views that she tends to seclude herself in her house.

In a series of posts on X, Takaichi also said she has not seen ghosts inside the residence, which is often rumored to be haunted, but that she has encountered a cockroach despite doing the household work herself.
