Embassy of Austria, Tokyo

The Austrian Embassy Tokyo (German: Österreichische Botschaft Tokio; Japanese: 在京オーストリア大使館, romanized: Zaikyō Ōsutoria Taishikan) is the main diplomatic mission representing Austria in Japan.

After some setbacks and negotiation with the Japanese government, a residence in the foreign enclave at Tsukiji was purchased in 1876, but a fire later that year led to its destruction and the eventual move to the Kioichō district in 1877.

The legation was promoted to an embassy in 1907 following Japan's victory in the Russo-Japanese War leading to an elevation of its status to "great power", but the property was handed over to other countries through World War I due to the suspension of diplomatic relations, eventually being destroyed in the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake.
