There is a medium-sized population of Japanese people in Turkey, comprising mostly recent expatriates from Japan. As of September 2010, their numbers were recorded at 1,430 by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[1] Most Japanese living in Turkey are based in Ankara and Istanbul.
There was a very small population of Japanese in the country prior to 1945 when Turkey declared war on Germany and Japan during the World War II; following the conflict and the severing of Turkey's trade and diplomatic relations with Japan, most had left.[2] A Japanese travel agent and information office had closed down its presence and all its personnel had left. There were also no Japanese businessmen left in Turkey.[2] Only people with diplomatic and consular status remained, numbering about fifteen. They were interned at a consulate building in Ayaspaşa, Istanbul. Some people who resided in the neighbourhood at that time remember that the interned Japanese nationals were sometimes permitted to go to Yıldız Park for a walk.[2]
