維基百科,自由的 encyclopedia
This is a list of diplomatic missions of Japan, excluding any honorary consulates. Japan had been sending ambassadors to the Tang Chinese court in Xian since 607 AD, as well as to the Koryo and JoseonDynasty of early Korea[1] but for centuries early modern Japan did not actively seek to expand its foreign relations. The first Japanese ambassadors to a Western country traveled to Spain in 1613. It was not until 1860 that Japan opened an embassy in Washington, D.C..
