This Embassy should be embarrassed and ashamed of itself.
Located in the heart of the capital city of one of our most trusted and close allies, it is ridiculously difficult to get in and get anything done:

-They do not allow appointments to be made by phone, plus they only allow calls for two hours a day...
-You CANNOT go in for any reason unless you have an appointment.
-They require YOU to translate all official Japanese documents that they require from you for specific things like getting a SSN for your kid (even though THEY are the freakin' Embassy located in Tokyo... they should easily be able to deal with the local government official documents)
-They don't allow phones, cameras, usb drives, etc. and they check you rigorously even though you are a US citizen just to get in, but then turn around and wave at the delivery man with the unchecked package walking straight past the massive line for the security check, entering the building with whatever he wants... so much for safety first!!
-They have 19 windows to serve, but only 2-to-5 open at any given time; even when the line going outside the embassy is going all the way down the street.
-They block traffic (cars and foot) at all times of all days just because they don't want cars to drive by or people to walk by the massive concrete walls and metal gate and 5m thick entrance block... and there is a big anti-terrorism sign visible to all that really is there for no reason...
-The guards are super rude, don't speak English, and are en embarrassment to Japanese people in general; how they are allowed to be the ones guarding this embassy is beyond me.

Seriously, this embassy should be ashamed of how it is run and how it works . It is an embarrassment to both nations.

Wish I could give it a 0.
