Your embassy & consulate in Japan
Your country's embassy or consulate in Japan is where to turn in trouble. Its official website and social media may also carry notices and events for its own nationals. Find addresses and phone numbers in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs list.
Good to know
How to find it
- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes a list of foreign embassies and consulates in Japan, grouped by region, with addresses and phone numbers.
- There is also an English list, “Foreign Missions in Japan”.
- If you are staying a while, note your embassy or consulate's official website and contact details soon after you arrive.
Notices and events
- Embassy and consulate websites and social media sometimes carry notices for their nationals, national-day and other events, and community gatherings.
- What is on, who may attend and whether you need to register differ by country and by event. Always check the official information from that embassy or consulate.
- This site does not list individual embassy events, because they change too often.
When you need help
- If you lose your passport, first report it to the police (a lost property report). Then ask your embassy or consulate how to have it reissued.
- Call 119 for sudden illness or injury and 110 for crime or accidents. JNTO's Japan Visitor Hotline answers 24 hours a day in English, Chinese and Korean. The number is on this site's “In trouble?” page.
