The Embassy of Japan in Russia has been aware that a website entitled 'Embassy of Japan in Russia' (in Russian) has been accessible on the Internet without the Embassy's consent. This website has no affiliation with the Embassy of Japan in Russia or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan and the latters bear, by any means, absolutely no responcibilities.
It is often observed that these kinds of so-called 'phishing sites' tend to maliciously affect the site visitors' computers through such acts like virus infection or any of the sort. The Embassy of Japan in Russia or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan is not responsible for any damages, monetary or physical, to users in consequences of their visit to the above mentioned website.

The authentic Internet address (URL) for the Embassy of Japan in Russia is as follows:
