Frequently Asked Questions
Where in Japan do you provide BTS coverage?
We provide BTS coverage throughout Japan including Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, Hiroshima, and other locations. Tokyo is our primary base, but we're happy to travel to any location in Japan for your production.
Do you speak Japanese?
Yes. San Roku Ku offers full bilingual support, our team communicates fluently in both English and Japanese. This is particularly valuable for international productions filming in Japan who need to coordinate with local crews, talent, and vendors.
Can you help with permits and location coordination in Japan?
While we specialize in BTS coverage, we can recommend trusted local fixers and location managers who specialize in Japanese permit processes. We're happy to coordinate with your fixer to ensure smooth location access.
How quickly can you deliver footage after the shoot?
RAW footage is typically delivered on wrap or the next business day. Edited social content delivery depends on the package, typically 3-5 business days for Social Edit, with priority turnaround available for Campaign BTS.
