Consulate-General of Japan in Los Angeles

The district combines Arizona with nine Southern California counties, reaching beyond Los Angeles to San Diego and Santa Barbara. Other parts of California may belong to a different post, so residents should compare their address with the official jurisdiction map.

The Consular Section handles passports, civil registration, certificates, assistance to Japanese nationals and visas for Japan. Passport applications require an appointment and cannot be mailed; visa documents have a morning-only drop-off period. Minors and applicants with family-register changes should check for additional requirements.

The address is 350 South Grand Avenue, Suite 1700. Visitors show photo ID on the first floor and pass security to floor 17. The telephone is 213-617-6700. Official directions describe a mostly level route from Metro’s A/E lines. Google Maps showed 3.2/5 from 158 reviews on October 19, 2026; the figure is recorded above the profile.
