Japanese Honorary Consulate in Boise

This is an honorary post. It supports Japanese residents and cultural work in the area, and it cannot issue a passport, a visa or a notarised certificate. Japan states that limit plainly on its own consulate websites.

Idaho's honorary consul is in Boise, and the post reports to the consular office in Portland. That is the clearest evidence available of where the unpublished north-south line through Idaho falls.
