Re: Visiting Tokyo...


Given that you will be in Tokyo for just one week the

best thing to do, would be to register your arrival

and duration of stay with the United States Embassy

when (or before) you arrive.



The embassy will be able to give you details on whom

to contact, should an emergency arise and they may

also be able to provide certain assistance to you as a

US national in certain situations.



The US Embassy Consular Section in Tokyo says:



"US citizens resident in or visiting Japan are

encouraged to register at the Consular Section of the

US Embassy in Tokyo where they may also obtain updated

information on travel and security within Japan."



The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo is located at



1-10-5 Akasaka,

Minato-ku,

Tokyo 107-8420

Japan



Tel: +81-3-3224-5000

Fax: +81-3-3224-5856



Recorded information for U.S. citizens concerning U.S.

passports, notarials and other American citizen

services is available 24 hours at



Tel: +81-3-3224-5168.
