Consulate General of Japan in Edinburgh
Consulate General of Japan in Edinburgh
My partner and I took a walk up to Melville Crescent in Edinburgh recently, to check out the Consulate General of Japan ahead of our interviews there later this week. It was a Sunday so the Consulate was closed, but here’s a photo.
On the Consulate’s official website at www.edinburgh.uk.emb-japan.go.jp, Kenichi Suganuma, the Consulate General, had this to say about its role:
The Consulate General of Japan in Edinburgh was established in 1991 to promote relations with Japan and to provide consular services and protection to Japanese nationals within its jurisdiction. It is located in Edinburgh, Scotland, and it covers the areas of Scotland and part of Northern England.
The Consulate General is here to promote any link between Japan, Scotland and Northern England, be it political, economic, cultural or academic. You are welcome to contact the Consulate for inquiries on Japan and on consular affairs. We will also try to help promote existing relations, to provide ideas and connect people to plan new ones, to unearth hidden ties and reinvigorate stale ones.
I very much look forward to meeting the JET representatives there, and perhaps even the Consulate General himself, on Thursday.
