Honorary consuls in this state
An honorary consul is a local contact point, not a counter: the post issues no passports and no visas and cannot notarise a document. For that you still go to the consulate general.

What you can settle without going
- You can check the office hours: most consular counters close at midday.
- You can check whether you need a visa at all, because most U.S. passport holders do not for stays under 90 days.
- You can fill in Visit Japan Web before you fly, which covers immigration and customs.
If you only need a certificate or a registration, check whether it can travel by mail before you plan the drive.
