The Consulate-General of Japan in Saint Petersburg is the consulate of Japan in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It is located at 29 Nabereznaya Reki Moiki ( Russian: Набережная реки Мойки, 29) in the Tsentralny district of Saint Petersburg. [1]
The building was constructed in 1851 for Aleksey Lobanov-Rostovsky, with reconstructions and extensions in 1868 and 1875. [2]
The decision to open a consulate-general in Leningrad, as it was then named, was taken by the Japanese cabinet following a bill passed in the Diet. This happened on 30 March 1971 with effect from April 1. [3] This was part of a consular agreement in which consulates were also opened in Osaka, Sapporo and Nakhodka. [4]
