Embassy of the United States, Tokyo
The Embassy of the United States of America in Tokyo (駐日アメリカ合衆国大使館 Chū Nichi Amerikagasshūkoku Taishikan) is the embassy of the United States in Tokyo, Japan. Along with consulates in Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, Fukuoka, and Naha, the embassy provides assistance to American citizens and residents who live in Japan and issues visas to Japanese nationals, and legal residents in Japan who wish to visit or immigrate to the United States.
The current ambassador is George Edward Glass, who assumed office on April 18, 2025.
The current embassy building was designed by César Pelli and Norma Merrick Sklarek, and was completed in 1976. It succeeded the previous embassy building built on the same property in 1931 by Harold Van Buren Magonigle and Antonin Raymond.
The ambassador's official residence, built together with the then new embassy in 1931, was one of the first buildings specifically built by the U.S. as an ambassador's residence. It served as the historic meeting place between Emperor Shōwa (Hirohito) and General Douglas MacArthur on September 27, 1945, after the surrender of Japan in World War II.
In January 2001, the U.S. Department of State authorized the Residence of the U.S. ambassador to Japan to be labeled an important cultural asset.
In August 2021, while visiting Japan for the Tokyo Olympics, First Lady Jill Biden dedicated a room in the U.S. ambassador's residence to the late U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye and his wife, Irene.
The embassy is located in the Akasaka neighborhood of Minato, Tokyo, steps away from the Nagatachō district, home of the National Diet and the Prime Minister's residence. The address is 1–10–5, Akasaka, Minato-ku Post Code: 107–8420. It is easily accessible via the Tokyo Metro Ginza or Namboku Lines Tameike-Sannō Station and conveniently located close to the Hotel Okura.
The first American consulate in Japan was opened at the temple of Gyokusen-ji, Shimoda, Shizuoka under Consul General Townsend Harris. Gyokusen-ji is also the location of a small number of foreign graves dating from as early as 1854 marking the final resting place of U.S. forces personnel that died while serving as part of Commodore Matthew Perry's 'Black Ship' fleet.
