Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has revealed an unexpectedly personal story about life inside Japan’s official residence, beginning with a question about ghosts and leading to a childhood belief in reincarnation that has stayed with her for decades.
“I’ve never encountered a ghost, but until recently, I was the one screaming when I came across cockroaches,” she wrote on X. Takaichi was responding to a question she said she is often asked about whether she has ever experienced anything supernatural at the official residence.
