意味

Official residence; the Prime Minister's office and residence. The seat of executive power.

In Japan, 官邸 specifically refers to the Prime Minister's Official Residence (首相官邸, kantei), the nerve centre of the government. It is used metonymically in journalism to mean 'the Prime Minister's office' or 'the government's inner circle,' much as 'the White House' stands for the US executive branch. Rebuilt in 2002, it is a constant backdrop in political news.
