Planned €23m Irish embassy in Tokyo ‘to boost Irish food trade’

An estimated €23 million investment in a newly planned “state-of-the-art” Irish embassy to promote Irish food and trade in Japan will pay for itself within two decades, Ireland’s ambassador to Japan has said.

The building in the Yotsuyo district in central Tokyo will be the single biggest sum ever spent on a building by the Department of Foreign Affairs and has been dubbed “Ireland House”.
