CHANGE (2008) | Komazawa University Fukasawa Campus — The Prime Minister’s Office

Komazawa University’s Fukasawa Campus (駒澤大学深沢キャンパス) supplied the principal real-world exterior for the Prime Minister’s Office in Fuji TV’s 『CHANGE』. The filming guide lists it among the drama’s main locations and credits Komazawa University in episodes 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and the finale; episode 3, “Tonight, a Prime Minister Is Born!!,” aired May 26, 2008.

That recurring use makes the campus one of the clearest physical anchors for Keita Asakura’s transformation from schoolteacher to prime minister.

Komazawa University still operates the Fukasawa Campus at 6-8-18 Fukasawa, Setagaya. The stored coordinate 35.6250622, 139.6553449 comes from the university’s own linked Google Maps place and is campus-level, not a claimed office room, doorway, or actor position.

This is an active university rather than an unrestricted tourist site. The university notes that the garden is opened on designated occasions, so pilgrimage should be limited to lawful public approaches or official public-opening periods rather than wandering through academic areas.
