The Ministry of Defense (防衛省, Bōei-shō) is a cabinet-level ministry of the Government of Japan. It is headquartered in Ichigaya, Shinjuku, Tokyo, and is the largest organ of the Japanese government. Headed by the Minister of Defense, the ministry is required by Article 66 of the Constitution to be completely subordinate to civilian authority. Before its transition to a cabinet-level ministry, it was named the Defense Agency (防衛庁, Bōei-chō), an agency of the Cabinet Office.
