After the preceding Japanese embassy in Berlin had to give way to Hitler's and Albert Speer's plans of re-modeling Berlin to the world capital city of "Germania", this new and more pompous building was erected in 1938 in a newly established diplomatic district next to the Tiergarten. It was conceived by Ludwig Moshamer under the supervision of Speer and was placed right opposite to the embassy of Italy, Germany's closest ally, thereby bestowing an architectural emphasis on the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo axis.[1][2]
Around the mid-80s, German and Japanese representatives decided to rebuild the Japanese embassy whose remains had remained unused after the building was largely destroyed during World War II. In addition to the original complex, several changes and additions were made until 2000, like moving the main entrance to the Hiroshima Street, which was named in honour of the homonymous Japanese city, and the creation of a traditional Japanese garden.[3][4]
