The United States and Japan established diplomatic relations in 1858 with the signing of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce. The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo was established in 1906, following the relocation from Yokohama.

Over time, the U.S. has expanded its diplomatic presence with consulates in cities like Osaka, Sapporo, and Fukuoka. The relationship faced challenges during World War II but was rebuilt post-war, leading to a strong alliance. Today, the U.S.-Japan partnership is vital, focusing on security, trade, and cultural exchange.
