| Greeting from the Consul General |
 Welcome to the website of the Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco. Our webpages are designed to provide various information including the Consulate's services and activities for the people of forty nine counties in Central and Northern California and the State of Nevada.
The Central and Northern California is known for its deep historic, geographic and economic connections with Japan, and currently, over thirty-five thousand Japanese people live and work in the region, while Nevada is home to three thousand Japanese residents. While we provide various consular services to the Japanese nationals, we welcome inquiries about visa information from the foreign nationals. For assistance with your specific needs, please contact us or visit our webpages. For the Japanese nationals, we recommend that they sign up for overseas residence registration as well as emergency mail and delivery services.
As the Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco, we also seek to promote mutual understanding of our countries and cultures. We hope to strengthen the friendship between Japan and California through our support for cultural programs. Information on specific events, performances, or exchanges is available in the section for events.
We appreciate your understanding and support for the Consulate and its activities. We hope you find our services and website helpful. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to hearing your comments.
