What you can settle without going

You can order a koseki copy from your registered domicile in Japan by mail.

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.

If you only need a certificate or a registration, check whether it can travel by mail before you plan the drive.
