The Consulate-General of Japan in New York serves residents of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia. In Connecticut, its jurisdiction is limited to Fairfield County; it also covers Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The official district list matters because the responsible office follows residence, not whichever city happens to be closest.
The office is at 299 Park Avenue, 18th floor, between 48th and 49th Streets in Manhattan. It opens Monday through Friday except holidays. The website separates consular services for Japanese nationals and visa applications—9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., by appointment—from visa collection and payment, which do not require an appointment. The Japan Information Center has a different window. Check the hours for your procedure rather than relying only on the building’s opening time.
For a Japanese passport, certificates, family-register or nationality notifications, a My Number Card PIN reset, or a visa application, the consulate says to book online or by phone. It does not accept appointment requests by email or walk-ins. The confirmation includes a code to present on arrival. Demand and availability can vary; the website also explains that some visa categories accept applications by mail under their own rules.
Services for Japanese nationals include passports, certificates, family-register matters, nationality, My Number, overseas voter registration and consular assistance. For people travelling to Japan, the office handles visas according to nationality, immigration status and category. These are separate pathways: before gathering documents, identify whether you need a service as a Japanese national or permission to enter Japan.
Satoshi Katahira has served as consul general since October 2025. Bring identification and the appointment code, check holiday closures and allow time for building security. Public Maps comments are individual accounts about service and appointment availability; they do not replace official requirements or predict an application’s outcome. The consulate profile gathers practical details.
