The decision to open a consulate-general in Leningrad, as it was then named, was taken by the Japanese cabinet following a bill passed in the Diet. This happened on 30 March 1971 with effect from April 1.[3] This was part of a consular agreement in which consulates were also opened in Osaka, Sapporo and Nakhodka.[4]
