At the Japan Society of Hawke’s Bay, we’re deeply grateful to the local companies that support our grassroots organisation.
Their generosity, whether through marketing services, storage, or advisory support, helps us nurture the bond between Japan and New Zealand, and we appreciate it enormously.

Embassy of Japan to New Zealand
The Embassy of Japan in New Zealand, based in Wellington with a Consulate-General in Auckland and Consular Office in Christchurch, manages the bilateral relationship between the two countries; covering political and economic relations, consular and visa services, and cultural diplomacy, including support for Japan Societies nationwide. Japan and New Zealand share a close, long-standing partnership built on strong trade, tourism, and cultural ties.
