About This Trend

The Imperial Palace Agency is the administrative agency responsible for the affairs of the Imperial Family of Japan.

The agency is currently trending due to a scandal where a staff member in their 20s, part of the Chamberlains' Office, allegedly stole 3.6 million yen from the 'inner court fees' (内廷費), which are funds allocated for the living expenses of the Imperial Family. The incident has led to the employee's dismissal and is drawing significant attention due to its serious implications on the trust and integrity of the Imperial Household. .
