SCENE 01 / PRODUCTION VEHICLES
Production Vehicles
Complete vehicle fleet for your Japanese production.
Production cars cover the trucks, vans, trailers, and support cars that keep a film crew working on location. Gear trucks, wardrobe trailers, cast motorhomes, and catering cars form the mobile setup that backs each department across a shoot.
We source and set up production car packages from local fleet partners, matching car types and counts to your shoot's scale. Our team handles permits, parking, and scheduling so your fleet keeps daily work running smoothly at every location.

On Location
Production Vehicle Fleets Across Japan
Shoots in Japan use our car fleet to keep cast, crew, and gear moving across the country.
The kit covers camera and grip trucks for the gear, honey wagons and star trailers for talent, hair and makeup trailers, shoot office portables, and chase or process trailers for car scenes. We line up fleets through Hibino, Yokohama Rental, NAC, and regional partners. The fleet scales from a single sprinter for a Fukuoka commercial to a full base camp backing a feature that works between Tokyo, Osaka, and Hokkaido.
We tune the logistics to each city. Kerbside parking in Shinjuku and Shibuya calls for compact trucks and all-night permits. Kyoto's narrow temple lanes favour smaller cars with trained local drivers. Sub-zero Hokkaido needs winterised diesel and engine-warmers, while Okinawa salt air punishes chassis unless rinsing is routine.
Our team handles parking permits with Japanese officials and plans staging for multi-site shoots across Yokohama and Nagoya. We book pro drivers who know the road network, then line up fuel and car swaps so crews are never left waiting. From a tight one-day commercial to a multi-month feature, we deliver a fleet that arrives clean, ordered, and ready to load on day one.
The fleet follows the production type. A Netflix Japan feature wants a full base camp with star trailers, honey wagons, and a shoot office. A TBS studio drama often needs gear trucks and crew transport between Tokyo stages. A commercial in Roppongi may run on a single sprinter and a grip van. We weigh crew size, gear load, and the schedule with your production manager, then book only the cars each day truly demands, never a convoy you cannot park.
Cost and delivery stay transparent. We deliver and stage the fleet across Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, with regional runs to Sapporo or Fukuoka on request. Our English-and-Japanese coordinators keep visiting production managers briefed at each step. Truck hire, trailers, drivers, and parking permits are quoted in JPY, with the 10 percent consumption tax shown as its own line, so the transport budget reads clearly from the first estimate to wrap.
