Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on Monday that his son, Shotaro Kishida, would resign as his aide.
This follows the publication of photos of the 32-year-old and other relatives and friends holding a party at the prime minister's official residence, including some images of people posing at the podium where Kishida gives his press conferences.
Japanese investigative publication Bunshun, which has a reputation for being critical of the ruling party, published the images last week.
