Embassy of France, Tokyo, French diplomatic mission in Minami-Azabu, Tokyo, Japan
The French Embassy in Minami-Azabu is a building that combines French and modern architectural elements. Designed by Joseph Belmont and Jean Démaret, it serves as the diplomatic seat for French services in Tokyo.
French presence in Tokyo began in 1858 with the signing of the Treaty of Amity between France and Japan. This agreement laid the foundation for the diplomatic relationship that continues today.
The building hosts French art exhibitions and film screenings that enrich Tokyo's cultural life. These programs give visitors a window into contemporary French creativity and artistic traditions.
The building is located in Minami-Azabu and is primarily accessible for official purposes. Services such as passport renewals and visa applications are handled here, so advance planning is recommended.
The building is the setting for a long-standing scientific partnership linking French and Japanese research institutions. This collaboration has produced significant outcomes across multiple fields of study over many decades.
