The Empire of Japan recognized the Albanian government in 1922 through the exchange of Notes between the Foreign Ministers of that time. The Albanian request of recognition by the Government of Japan, signed by Foreign Minister Fan Noli, dates back to 28 January 1922, meanwhile, the positive response, signed by the Foreign Minister of the Empire of Japan, Uchida Yasuya, is dated back to 18 April 1922.
On 20 June 1930, the First Commercial Treaty between the two countries was signed. In 1935 the Kingdom of Albania opened the Honorary Consulate in Osaka. After the World War II the relations were frozen and they were re-established in March 1981. In December 2005 the Embassy of the Republic of Albania was opened in Tokyo and the Japanese Government opened an embassy in Tirana.
