Kantei

The Kantei is the official residence and office of Japan’s Prime Minister, situated in Tokyo. It serves as both the executive headquarters where government decisions are made and the Prime Minister’s personal residence. In addition to administrative functions, it hosts meetings with officials, officials’ briefings, and occasionally press gatherings. The building symbolizes the leadership and authority of Japan’s government and is a key site for national governance. The Kantei’s design reflects both modern functionality and Japan’s cultural heritage, emphasizing transparency, security, and accessibility for diplomatic and parliamentary activities.
