The General Mission of Palestine in Japan () is the diplomatic mission of the Palestinian Authority in Japan. It is located in Minami Azabu in Tokyo.
Initially, a Palestine Liberation Organization office was opened in Tokyo in 1977. PLO temporarily closed it in 1995, but the State of Palestine re-opened its diplomatic mission as the Permanent General Mission of Palestine in Tokyo in 2003.
Status of head of mission
This mission does not have embassy status as Japan does not recognize Palestine as a sovereign state; however, Japan allows a Palestinian representative to call himself ambassador. Arab countries also accept Palestinian Representative as the Ambassador and the Dean of the Arab Diplomatic Corps in Japan.
