Japan PM Sanae Takaichi Moves Into 'Haunted' Official Residence

• Japan's first woman PM, Sanae Takaichi, moved into the historic official residence in central Tokyo.
• The residence is rumored to be haunted by ghosts of Japanese soldiers from the 1930s, following attempted coups and assassinations.
• Takaichi's move comes over two months after taking office, after criticism for her commute during an earthquake.
• The 1929-built mansion was the site of two attempted coups where top officials, including a PM, were assassinated.
• Previous PMs like Shigeru Ishiba and Fumio Kishida lived there without incident, while Shinzo Abe and Yoshihide Suga avoided it.

Why It Matters: Japan's new PM Sanae Takaichi faces a historic, 'haunted' residence and a demanding schedule.
