Filipinos based in Japan do not only get updates on diplomatic events hosted by the Philippine Embassy in Tokyo and Osaka, but they also benefit from the services offered by these offices which include Assistance to Nationals (ATN), visa and passport processing, civil registration and notarial services, among others.
And due to the fact the Filipinos are scattered all over Japan, the two diplomatic posts in the country would not be as easily accessed as they would like to for these Filipino nationals, and so part of their services to migrant Filipinos are conducting consular missions in select locations where majority of our nationals can easily have access to.
