Content Production Services in Japan
From prime-time television commissions to global streaming originals and commercial campaigns, our content production service in Japan covers the full production cycle. Our crews work across formats and genres—drama, documentary, lifestyle, corporate—drawing on a network of verified professionals available in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and beyond. We act as a single production partner capable of managing everything from initial logistics and location access through to final delivery, removing the coordination burden that comes with assembling multiple independent vendors for a single project.
One Japanese production partner — from Tokyo broadcast originals to Kyoto documentary access — replacing the coordination tax of stitching local vendors together.
For broadcast clients, our TV Shows & Broadcast Series capability covers everything from pre-production planning through to the final deliverable, with production managers experienced in managing multi-week schedules across Japanese locations. Documentaries & Docuseries benefit from our access to fixers and local contacts who open doors—access to traditional crafts workshops in Kyoto, fishing communities along the coast of Hokkaido, or manufacturing facilities in Nagoya that require advance liaison. Corporate clients commissioning TV Commercials receive the same professional infrastructure, with experienced directors and camera crews delivering on tight turnarounds.
FAQs
Content Production FAQs
Common questions about our content production services, capabilities, and process.
What types of content do you produce in Japan?
The full range: scripted drama and limited series for NHK and Netflix Japan, documentaries for international broadcasters, TVC campaigns for Japanese and global brands, corporate films, social content, music videos, fashion week coverage. The production team needs particular crew members and equipment for each format so we choose staff members according to content requirements instead of following a set procedure.
Can you handle international productions shooting in Japan?
That's the core of what we do. Most of our clients are US, UK, European, or Asian productions bringing projects to Japanese locations. We handle the local side—crew, equipment, permits, locations, vendors—while you focus on the creative. Bilingual production management means nothing gets lost in translation between your team and Japanese departments.
What's your typical production timeline?
The production timeline for commercials operates at a quick pace because it takes two to three weeks to complete from receiving the brief to finishing the final product when all locations agree to work together. The production team needs to prepare each block of TV episodes for 4 to 6 weeks. The production duration for features spans from eight weeks for contained dramas to twelve to sixteen weeks for period pieces which require complex locations and construction sequences. We've done rush jobs when schedules demand it, but realistic prep time usually saves money in the long run.
Do you provide post-production services?
The entire post production process runs through Tokyo facilities which include offline editing followed by online conforming and DaVinci color grading and Pro Tools sound editorial work and mix production and VFX supervision and execution. The process of shooting and posting content in Japan becomes more efficient when all operations take place within a single location. The team offers international post house assistance for cut work that needs to be done outside our facility—please define your delivery needs along with their required output format.
How do you handle permits and locations in Japan?
The Japanese Film Commission performs national inquiries but the actual work occurs through local authorities which include ward offices and property owners and prefectural governments. Our location team has relationships across Japan from years of shoots. The team understands which temples grant permission for filming and which Tokyo streets can be closed for production and the duration of Shibuya permit operations during peak tourist times. The team will create all necessary paperwork which will enable you to access your desired locations.
