Japanese diplomatic missions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Japan had been sending ambassadors to the Tang Chinese court in Xian since 607AD, [1] but for centuries Japan was a closed country that did not actively seek to expand its foreign relations. In 1613 during the reign of Tokugawa Iyeyasu Japan sent ambassadors to Spain, the first time to a Western country. All five converted to Christianity and were promptly executed upon their return [2]. It wasn't until 1860 that Japan opened an embassy in Washington DC.

Listed below are all Japan's diplomatic missions abroad, excluding any honorary consulates [3]:
