Governor Yasutomo Suzuki decided to sell the official residence, located in Ando 2-chome in Aoi Ward, as part of administrative and fiscal reforms amid severe financial constraints, and the property was put up for auction in November with an estimated price of around 314.15 million yen.
According to the prefecture, 16 companies took part in the bidding, and Sekisui Heim Tokai, a housing manufacturer based in Hamamatsu, secured the property at a price more than double the estimated value.

The governor’s residence is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood and was built in 1988. The site covers approximately 1,430 square meters, and the single-story wooden building has a total floor area of about 330 square meters.
