The weird history of Japanese Prime Minister

The mysterious Japanese fans, or just kids are bold enough to visit many ghost websites in Japan, The old reason for execution in Tokyo Go to this location Massive samurai suicide. However, there is almost no place to take risks. Not because it is more troublesome than anywhere else in the country, but because anyone sneaking around at night will arrest at best, and at worst a shooting.

The authorities were not very friendly to uninvited guests at the official residence of the Japanese Prime Minister, at least not tangible. They have obviously been ignoring ghostly people for decades.

The history of bloody events

The Prime Minister’s official residence is located in Nagatacho Ward, Tokyo, and was built in 1929. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Imperial Hotel, the two-story stone and brick mansion totals about 5,200 square meters. So it can try a violent coup every 2600 m2, which is not a lot of violent coup attempts, but it is still creepy and it happens twice should Become the safest building in Japan.

In the incident on May 15, 1932, Prime Minister Tsuyoshi Inukai was shot dead in his residence by a young naval officer who opposed Western influence and wanted to install a military dictatorship. They also painted Kill Charlie Chaplin – Invited by Inukai to the VIP banquet, but changed his schedule at the last minute – Hope to inspire war with the United States. The assassin accepted very light sentences.

In the incident on February 26, 1936, rebel soldiers tried to try Prime Minister Okada’s life. He nearly escaped in the closet, but sadly, his brother-in-law and five others were killed that day.

Openly joke, privately exorcist

It is said that the bullet hole that opened on February 26, 1936 was preserved near the main entrance of the Prime Minister’s residence. On the one hand, it is important to remember history, no matter how unpleasant it is. On the other hand, this is exactly how you get the ghost. Generations of prime ministers, their employees and families swear they saw them.

Prime Minister Tsutomu Hata wrote in her 1996 memoir that she felt oppressed while she was living, and even saw the spirits of old military uniforms in the garden.

Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori also reportedly told Shinzo Abe that he saw a strange phantom in the building. As the rumors spread, the media ate it, often asking the new prime minister if he was afraid to move into Nagatacho’s ghost house. Politicians usually laugh in front of the camera, although the explanation suggests that this is a completely different story behind closed doors.

Junichiro Koizumi lived in the official residence for about a year before moving out during the renovation. Rumors claim that he arranged a private exorcism for the place before evacuation.

Renovation work on historic buildings between 2002 and 2005 was also said to include Shinto cleaning rituals, although it is common in Japanese architecture. Still, it’s also the perfect cover for some invisible ghost hunts.

The so-called curse of PM residence

Abe became prime minister for the first time in 2006, and he lived in his official residence and served for only one year. In 2013, in the second round, he was “joking” that he would not return to Nagatacho’s house “because there were ghosts.” Instead, he chose to live in his private residence in Shisai.

At that time, he spent seven years and 266 days on work and still had the record of the longest-serving prime minister in Japanese history. Some attribute his success to avoiding the Prime Minister’s haunted house.

For years, an urban legend has believed that those who live in places where Inukai were murdered would not last long. During Abe’s first year, five other prime ministers moved into Nagatacho’s residence, each resigning in less than 18 months. Yukio Hatoyama lasted only 266 days. Abe broke the winning streak during his second lead.

Abe’s successor, Yoshihide Suga, chose to live in parliamentary housing rather than official residence, and served for just over a year. Instead, the media made a lot of noise about the next leader, Fumio Kishida, the first prime minister to live in a residence in nearly a decade. He stayed for three years, and for several years as the Japanese Prime Minister, it was basically an eon.

After Kishida, Shigeru Ishiba became prime minister, also changed his speech to the residence of Nagatacho, who will resign after about a year of work. The conclusion is: the official residence is haunted and Kishida can access the first-class exorcist he has not shared.
