Japanese consulates in Idaho
Idaho is split between Portland and Seattle, and the line is Idaho County: Seattle takes everything north of it and Portland the rest.
Which Japanese consulate covers Idaho?
North of Idaho County means the Panhandle, from Lewiston and Moscow up to the Canadian border, and that part goes to Seattle. Portland covers the rest of the state, Boise and Idaho Falls included, and Japan's honorary consul in Boise reports to it.

Honorary consuls in this state
An honorary consul is a local contact point, not a counter: the post issues no passports and no visas and cannot notarise a document. For that you still go to the consulate general.

What you can settle without going
- You can have the Certificate of Eligibility applied for in Japan by your sponsor.
- You can check the office hours: most consular counters close at midday.
- You can check whether you need a visa at all, because most U.S. passport holders do not for stays under 90 days.
If you only need a certificate or a registration, check whether it can travel by mail before you plan the drive.
