Consul-General Nakai
Thank you for visiting this Home Page of the Consulate-General of Japan in Miami. I am Junya Nakano, newly  appointed Consul-General of Japan in Miami in December, 2024.
 
Florida is a large and dynamic market that boasts the fourth-largest economy and the third-largest population in the United States. The state has traditionally been well known in Japan as one of the world's leading tourist destinations and exporters of citrus fruits. In recent years, Florida has strengthened its ties with Japan in high-tech fields such as aerospace and life sciences.

Florida plays an important role as a gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean, and many Japanese companies have headquarters in the region. Currently, more than 100 Japanese companies have a presence in Florida. These companies are the largest investors in the state in terms of property, facilities, and equipment, employing over 21,000 people.
 
I am deeply honored to represent Japan as the new Consul General in Miami. It is my priority to make best efforts to ensure that our diplomatic and trading relationship with Florida will be further enhanced.
 
Serving as the Consul-General of Japan in Miami, I will do my utmost to contribute to strengthening the bonds of friendship between Japan and Florida. To this end, I look forward to joining with you, and I welcome your input about the role of our Consulate and its services.
 
 
Sincerely,
 
Junya Nakano
Consul-General of Japan in Miami
