Usually, arrested celebrities are transferred to the Wangan Police Station. Erika Sawajiri (37), Yusuke Iseya (47), Junnosuke Taguchi (37), Noriyuki Makihara (54), and Pierre Taki (56) were all sent to Wangan Police Station.
The reason why the Wangan Police Station is used is because it has one of the largest detention facilities in the Metropolitan Police Department. It even has private rooms for women, which is perfect for celebrities to spend time. Another advantage is that there are few residences or commercial facilities in the surrounding area, so it is less likely to be a nuisance even if the press gathers there.
The Wangan Police Station is truly a celebrity’s go-to place. Why was Nagayama transferred to the Harajuku Police Station this time? It is said that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department made a difficult decision.
