Japanese Access

    Welcome to the Tokyo Location Box


The Tokyo Location Box provides information to ensure safe and trouble-free filming in Tokyo. We believe that introducing Tokyo to a wider audience through movies and TV dramas leads to the promotion of the city and attracts tourists from both home and abroad. We utilize location filming for the purpose of supporting revitalization of local communities. You can find location information for Tokyo on this website. If you need information about filming in other parts of Japan, please visit the Japan Film Commission .
