Akaie

The Red House is the official residence and workplace of the Chancellor of the Realm. It is located at 1-1-1 Yatogami-chō, Dazaifu-ku, Tetsuya 100-8968, and has been the residence of every Teiko premier since Takashi Natsume in 1990. The term Red House is often used as a metonym for the premier and his advisers, as in "The Red House announced that...". Despite being the official workplace and residence, the Red House is mainly used for receptions of state guests and other official occasions. Cabinet meetings and most functions of the premier are carried out in the adjacent and surrounding buildings.
