History


On July 3, 1920, the consulate was established in Higashi-ku, Nagoya by Consul Harry Franklin Hawley. Due to worsening relations between Japan and the U.S., the consulate was closed on December 31, 1940. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese Navy on December 7, 1941, both nations entered a state of war. The consulate in Nagoya remained closed throughout the war.
On March 1, 1950, the "Nagoya American Consular Service" was opened. On April 29, 1952, with the enactment of the Treaty of San Francisco, the post was again renamed to the "Consulate of the United States, Nagoya". The consulate was once more closed in 1970.
In 1984, the Nagoya American Center was established on the 6th floor of the Nagoya International Center Building, aiming to promote U.S.-Japan relations through PR activities. During the 1980s, when the center was founded, the U.S. was facing a historic trade deficit, while Japan had a significant trade surplus, leading to intense trade friction between the two nations.
In March 1986, the U.S. Consulate Kobe's Nagoya branch office was established. This marked the return of American diplomats to Nagoya after a 16-year absence.
On December 2, 1993, the Consulate of the United States, Nagoya was reopened after 23 years. The opening ceremony was attended by U.S. Ambassador to Japan Walter F. Mondale.
In March 2005, the consulate moved to the 6th floor of the Nagoya International Center Building, where the Nagoya American Center was located, and the center was incorporated into the consulate's public relations division.
