The Consulate General of Japan in Miami has announced the arrival of Junya Nakano, who was appointed by Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs as new Consul General in December 2024. Nakano replaces Kazuhiro Nakai, who was appointed to the post in 2021.
Consul General Nakano began his impressive diplomatic journey as Second Secretary at the Embassy of Japan in Russia after graduating from Tokyo University’s Faculty of Law in 1991 and later obtaining an MSc (Master of Science degree) at the London School of Economics in 1994.
Before arriving in Miami, Nakano served as Minister and Deputy Chief of Mission at the Embassy of Japan in The Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR), where he made significant contributions towards the enhancement of bilateral relations in both countries.
Throughout his distinguished career, Nakano has held pivotal positions with Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including serving as Economic Counselor at the Embassy of Japan in Australia and as Minister of the Permanent Mission of Japan to the United Nations. With extensive diplomatic experience in both Japan and abroad, Nakano brings invaluable expertise to his current role in Miami
Currently, Florida hosts more than 100 Japanese companies, and, in terms of property, facilities, and equipment, these companies are among the largest investors in the state.
With his proven track record, Consul General Nakano expressed great enthusiasm on fortifying these standing relations, and thus the Japan-Florida relationship, through his new position.
“I am deeply honored to represent Japan as the new Consul General in Miami,” he said. “It is my priority to make best efforts to ensure that our diplomatic and trading relationship with Florida will be further enhanced.”
Consul General Nakano’s qualifications and notable career experience will be instrumental in guiding this relationship between Japan and Florida towards continued success and expansion.
Recognizing Florida as a dynamic powerhouse, Nakano is determined to continue cultivating opportunities between Japan and Florida through various fields to ensure an ever-growing and influential relationship. As the newly appointed Consul General, he looks forward to working with government officials, entrepreneurs, and power influencers in the state of Florida towards this common goal.
