Residence of the Lower House president

Residence of the Lower House president, Official residence in Nagatachō, Japan.

The Residence of the Lower House president (Shūgiin-gichō kōtei) stands in Nagatachō, Chiyoda, Tokyo, next to the residence of the House of Councillors president. It comprises three buildings — a main building, an office building and a residential wing — in a Japanese-Western mixed style under a copper-clad gabled roof. A Japanese garden designed by Yōji Sasaki lies on the grounds.

The residence is funded under the National Public Servants' Housing Law (Kokka-kōmuin shukusha-hō), which requires the national budget to provide housing for the presidents and vice-presidents of both parliamentary chambers, Supreme Court judges, the prime minister and other ministers. It stands next to the residence of the President of the House of Councillors on the same grounds in Nagatachō, while the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives has a separate residence in Akasaka 8-chōme, Minato.

The residence is built in a mixed Japanese-Western style under a copper-clad gabled roof, and its grounds include a Japanese garden designed by Yōji Sasaki. In front of the north entrance stands the Tokyo Women's College memorial monument, a stele recalling the site's earlier occupant.

The residence stands in Nagatachō, Chiyoda, next to the Sangiin president's residence on the same grounds; the Shūgiin vice-president's residence is separate, in Akasaka 8-chōme, Minato. It is a private residence and reception venue, not open to the public, so it can only be seen from the street. The Tokyo Women's College memorial monument stands in front of the north entrance.

The residence is rarely used as a home; the Speaker mainly stays elsewhere, and the site serves for official receptions such as state guests. A memorial monument to the Tokyo Women's College stands in front of the north entrance, and the Japanese garden was designed by landscape architect Yōji Sasaki.
