Maebashi mayor to quit over love hotel scandal

MAEBASHI, GUNMA PREF. – Akira Ogawa, mayor of Maebashi, the capital of Gunma Prefecture, plans to step down following a scandal involving her "love hotel" visits with a married male city employee.

Kimitaka Tomita, speaker of the city's assembly, told reporters Tuesday that Ogawa submitted a resignation letter to him. The assembly was all but certain to adopt a motion of no confidence in the mayor in a plenary meeting on Thursday, the first day of a regular session.

"I appreciate to a certain extent that (Ogawa) made the decision" to step down, Tomita said.

In September, Ogawa admitted to visiting a love hotel more than 10 times while knowing that the male city employee was married. She said there was no romantic relationship between them, claiming that they were at the hotel to talk about problems in her public duties and private life.

The city assembly had been putting pressure on the mayor over the scandal, arguing that she was undermining the city's image.

Ogawa worked as a lawyer and as a Gunma Prefectural Assembly member before defeating the then-incumbent mayor in the 2024 Maebashi mayoral election.

Maebashi Mayor Resigns amid Hotel Scandal
Nov 27, 2025 17:02 (JST)

Maebashi, Gunma Pref., Nov. 27 (Jiji Press)--Akira Ogawa, mayor of Maebashi, the capital of Gunma Prefecture, eastern Japan, is set to resign on Thursday following a scandal involving repeated visits to a hotel with a married male subordinate.

At a plenary meeting the same day, the city assembly with 38 seats and one vacancy unanimously approved the resignation of Ogawa, 42.

"It was a tough decision I made after much deliberation," she told the meeting. "I decided that it would be best to take responsibility for my actions by leaving the mayor's office."

She submitted the resignation to the assembly leader, Kimitaka Tomita, on Tuesday.

Under the public offices election law, a mayoral election must be held within 50 days from the day after the local assembly head, who has received an offer of resignation, notifies the local election board. Ogawa has expressed interest in running for the mayoralty again.

MAEBASHI -- The former mayor of Maebashi, Gunma Prefecture, who resigned over a scandal involving "love hotel" rendezvous with a city employee, has announced her intention to run in the upcoming mayoral election, it was revealed Dec. 15.

The start of the official election campaign is scheduled for Jan. 5, 2026, and voting on Jan. 12. Akira Ogawa, 42, will compete against a former city assembly member backed by the Japanese Communist Party (JCP) and a lawyer, both of whom have already declared their candidacy, as she seeks to return to office.

Ogawa, who has a background as a lawyer and Gunma Prefectural Assembly member, was first elected in the February 2024 mayoral election. She defeated an independent incumbent endorsed by the Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito, becoming the first female mayor of the prefectural capital.

In September this year, reports surfaced of her visiting a love hotel with the then secretary section chief, and she admitted to meeting him there at least 10 times but denied any romantic involvement. She initially intended to continue in her role with a 50% salary reduction but resigned at the end of November amid criticism from the city assembly and others.

In the mayoral race, Akira Maruyama, a 39-year-old lawyer, and Setsuko Tanahashi, a 64-year-old former city councilor backed by the JCP, have both announced their candidacies as independent newcomers.
