Consulate-General of Japan in Los Angeles

There is an honorary consul in Fresno, closer than the consulate general. It can help in an emergency and with local matters, but it issues no passports and no visas.

What you can settle without going

You can get an apostille for a U.S. document from the Secretary of State of the issuing state, not from a Japanese consulate.
You can register your address abroad through ORR net instead of at the counter.
