Takaichi defends habit of using official residence as workplace
Takaichi has become well known for a round-the-clock working style and a preference for poring over documents alone at her residence.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi defended her habit of working from her official residence, stating it allows her to conduct long work hours without inconveniencing her staff. "Activities performed at the official residence, like meetings held there, are not considered part of the prime minister's daily schedule," Takaichi noted on X on Saturday. "However, in my view, the official residence is also a workplace."
Interestingly, Takaichi shared an unusual observation about spotting cockroaches at her residence. As prime minister since late last year, Takaichi has gained attention for her non-stop working style and inclination to review documents alone at her home. In July, she candidly shared on X that she sleeps "zero to three" hours each night.
