United States presidential visits to East Asia

Ten United States presidents have made presidential visits to East Asia.

The first presidential trip to a country in East Asia was made by Dwight D. Eisenhower (as president-elect) in 1952.

Since then, all presidents, except John F. Kennedy, have traveled to one or more nations in the region while in office.

To date, 25 visits have been made to Japan, 20 to South Korea, 14 to China[a], and one each to Mongolia and to North Korea.
