🇯🇵 Japan — Embassies & Consulates
Japan operates a substantial global diplomatic network managed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (MOFA), encompassing over 230 overseas missions including embassies, consulates-general, consulates, and government representative offices. Japan's consular services abroad provide Japanese nationals with passport issuance, civil registration (including births, marriages, and deaths overseas), notarial services, and emergency assistance. The Overseas Safety website (anzen.mofa.go.jp) offers detailed travel safety information and crisis warnings, and Japanese nationals are encouraged to register their overseas presence through the Overseas Safety Registration system to facilitate emergency contact. Japan's diplomatic network reflects its status as one of the world's largest economies and a major contributor to international development assistance through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Japanese missions also promote bilateral trade, cultural exchange, and educational partnerships, often working alongside the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) and the Japan Foundation. Japan maintains particularly active diplomatic presences across Asia, North America, and Europe, with large consular volumes reflecting Japan's significant expatriate communities, especially in the United States, Brazil, China, and Australia. Emergency consular contacts are available 24 hours a day at most major missions.
