Where We Film in Tokyo
Filming in Tokyo
Our Tokyo-based video crew serves the entire Kanto region, from the business hubs in Marunouchi and Shinjuku to major trade shows at Tokyo Big Sight. Because our team is local, we handle all Tokyo Film Commission permits and logistics for you, saving you the cost of flying in a crew. We also provide seamless coverage for multi-city projects, with teams ready in Shanghai and Singapore.
Venues We Film At in Tokyo
We film at Tokyo's most prestigious event venues, from the Tokyo International Forum to world-class luxury hotels like The Okura and Mandarin Oriental. Our Tokyo crews excel at capturing high-energy tech conferences, international business summits, and corporate galas.

Producer’s Note:
Navigating the incredibly dense, vertical corporate environment of Marunouchi requires our Japanese crews to travel light but pack heavy-duty, broadcast-quality power for quick transit load-ins. For massive international expos at Tokyo Big Sight, we utilize highly directional microphones and frequency-coordinated audio to combat the immense RF interference of thousands of attendees.
Filming in Tokyo
What to know before you shoot in Tokyo
Filming permits and public-space rules
The police are central to filming in Tokyo. Tokyo Location Box, the Tokyo Film Commission's service, says road filming requires a road use permit from the police chief, applied for through the traffic division of the local department covering the location. Its FAQ adds that a permit may be needed even without any traffic blockade, depending on the area and project, although very small on-street shoots may not need one in practice.
Permits are issued 3 to 5 days after documents go in, and the commission fee is about 3,000 yen per application. A separate road occupation permit from the road administrator may apply if items stay on the road for extended periods. A use permit is not a closure: closures are hard to obtain, and Location Box singles out Kabuki-cho and the Shibuya intersection as difficult because of security risks. Contact the office well ahead, and carry the permit on the day.
Drone rules
Japan's Civil Aviation Bureau requires registration for any drone of 100g or more, with a displayed ID and remote ID. Flights near airports or over densely inhabited districts need prior permission or approval through its DIPS 2.0 system, along with a flight plan report and a flight logbook.
A guide in ADF Web Magazine says creators should assume an application is always needed for professional work. It says flying over event crowds without assistants sits in the highest-risk level and is rarely approved. It also notes that foreign registrations are not valid, and recommends hiring a certified Japanese pilot. Check with the bureau before planning a flight.
The business event calendar and districts
Tokyo Big Sight in Ariake calls itself the largest international exhibition centre in Japan, with 16 halls, 24 conference rooms and about 115,420 square metres of exhibition space across roughly 300 events a year. Its autumn 2026 list runs from POWTEX (25 to 27 November) to Leisure Japan on the same dates, so you may find unrelated shows in adjoining halls.
SusHi Tech Tokyo, the city's innovation conference, returns to Big Sight on 20 to 22 May 2027, with the first two days for business and a target of 70,000 attendees. CEATEC, the digital innovation exhibition, ran at Makuhari Messe in October 2026, and registration is compulsory for all visitors.
Practical logistics
Foreign teams bringing kit should note that Japan is an ATA Carnet member, and Location Box says Japan Customs offers temporary admission procedures for others. It does not advise on visas, so ask the immigration authority. Location Box staff can sometimes accompany a crew on the day, and the office is open 09:00 to 17:45 on weekdays.

Powered by Fame OS
Three tools your last videographer didn't have.
Most crews hand over a drive and a link. Every Fame Crew shoot runs on our own software, so you can see what is happening before the shoot, find any clip after it, and approve edits without a single email thread.
- 01
Footage Log
Every clip from the shoot, organised and labelled, with the whole log searchable - and every clip transcribed, so you can find the moment someone said the thing by typing what they said. No scrubbing through hours of rushes.
Open a sample footage log → - 02
Shoot Status
One page per shoot showing exactly where things stand: crew confirmed, brief signed off, kit list, call time, payment status. You never have to email to ask what is happening.
See a live example → - 03
Asset Review Tool
Review every edit in the browser and leave comments pinned to the exact second. No download, no version confusion, no thread of timecodes pasted into email.
