Aerial Drone Services

Japanese airspace is among the most tightly governed in the world, and our aerial unit is built around that fact.

Each pilot we send holds full JCAB sign-off under MLIT. They know the layered approval chain for Densely Inhabited District work across Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka. Our team files the flight plans, sets the prefectural liaison, and aligns with local officials. Your shoot then earns its aerial day with the same trust as any ground scene. Subjects range from the neon spine of Shibuya to the cherry-blossom temples of Kyoto and the volcanic ridges near Hakone and Fuji.

Our kit scales from compact DJI platforms for quick establishing work up to heavy-lift rigs. The big rigs carry ARRI Alexa Mini LF, Sony Venice 2, and RED V-Raptor bodies for feature and commercial campaigns. FPV pilots take the fast interior, chase, and through-the-gap shots that need purpose-built craft.

Our standard aerial team covers orbits, reveals, tracking moves, and high-altitude panoramas. Night work, multi-drone moves, and heavy-payload sequences also fit the scope with enough lead time. You get a full aerial team — pilots, observers, cover, paperwork, and backup gear — in one booking.

Scheduling tracks the approval clock, not just the weather. Open rural shoots near Mount Fuji or the Japan Alps can move on short notice. Dense-district flights over Tokyo or Yokohama need weeks of lead time for airspace sign-off. Our coordinators file the flight plans, brief the local liaison, and hold backup dates for wind or rain. English-language coordination runs through every step, so overseas producers stay in the loop.

On wrap we hand off graded-ready footage, not just raw clips. Our team delivers logged files with flight records and frame metadata attached. We grade in DaVinci Resolve and hold both a Rec.709 master and an HDR pass when the brief calls for it. Heavier finishing routes to local partners such as Imagica or Sony PCL. Japanese consumption tax of 10% applies, and all quotes are issued in JPY.
