A mayor in Japan is under fire after admitting to having checked into hotels over 10 times with a married male subordinate.
Akira Ogawa, 41, Maebashi city mayor, gave a press conference after news broke of the check-ins, with the report claiming she had checked into a "love hotel" with the subordinate.
She admitted to visiting hotels with the employee, but insisted that there was no romantic relationship.
According to The Mainichi, she said she had visited hotels with the employee over 10 times since February 2025.
Chosun Daily quoted her as saying that this was to "avoid scrutiny and discuss work comfortably".
They had earlier met at restaurants instead.
The male employee had reportedly suggested going to hotels instead.
Ogawa also clarified that she had covered the hotel expenses out of her own pocket.
At the news conference, Ogawa insisted that she had not had an affair with her subordinate, but said she deeply regretted her "indiscreet actions" that had caused a misunderstanding.
In a closed-door briefing with council members, Ogawa expressed her desire to carry on in her role.
