Georgian-Japanese relations were established on August 3, 1992, just over one year since Georgia became independent from the Soviet Union.

Japan has extended foreign aid to Georgia for various economic and cultural development projects. The balance of trade between the two nations is heavily in favor of Japan, with Japan exporting automobiles and manufactured goods, and Georgia exporting food products and chemicals.

Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze made an official visit to Japan in March 1999 and President Mikheil Saakashvili visited Japan in March 2007.

Since November 2006, Georgia has maintained an embassy in Tokyo. Japan has an embassy in Tbilisi.
