On October 22, 2024, Head Consul Hamada paid a courtesy call to 11th Airborne Division and U.S. Army Alaska Commander, Major General Joseph Hilbert.
 
Head Consul Hamada opened by expressing his sincere gratitude for being invited and introduced at the changing of the guard ceremony this summer. Major General Hilbert said in early December members of US Army Alaska will fly to Japan to take part in the bilateral command post exercise known as Yama Sakura. Major General Hilbert will visit Japan early next year for bilateral exercises with Japanese forces.
 
Head Consul Hamada ended by thanking Major General Hilbert for his work, as well as speaking on how the Japan-US relationship has never been stronger than it is today. A gift exchange took place shortly after.
 
The Consular Office of Japan looks forward to future cooperation with the US Alaska Army.
