Sanae Takaichi entered the role of Prime Minister with the promise of "work, work, work, work, work." Given her strict work ethic, a good night's sleep should be within reach.
But the question many Japanese are now asking themselves is whether she will get that sleep in her new home. The residence that comes with the office has been the site of two attempted coups - incidents that claimed the lives of several officials and a former prime minister. Bullet holes still remain in the facade.
Now the ghosts of the dead are said to haunt the building. Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe lived elsewhere throughout his term, but it is unclear whether the reason was a fear of ghosts.
However, Prime Ministers Shigeru Ishiba and Fumio Kishida lived in the residence. Neither of them reported any contact with the spirit world.
