The Embassy of Ireland in Japan (Irish: Ambasáid na hÉireann, An tSeapáin) is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Ireland in Japan.[2]

The embassy is also represented by an Honorary Consul in Sapporo, Hokkaido prefecture.[3]

New building

[edit]

In 2019, the Department of Foreign Affairs, in conjunction with the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland, announced a competition to create the architectural design for a new Irish embassy in Tokyo.[4]

The winning design by the Dublin based architectural firm Henry J Lyons was announced in September 2020.[5]

Construction of the new building is scheduled to begin in March 2023, and is expected to be completed by 2025.[6] The building will be based in the Yotsuya district of Shinjuku, and is expected to cost a total of €23 million.[7]
