A fixer essentially functions as your dependable local business ally, communicator, and facilitator in Japan.

- WHY FIXERS JAPAN?
WHY FIXERS JAPAN?
Inbound Media Project Specialist
Most of our work involves collaborating with international media crews from around the globe who come to Japan. We specialize in inbound media projects for nearly 20 years, a distinct service from other production companies based in Tokyo. Prior to your arrival in Japan, we handle all arrangements from A to Z, allowing you to focus on shooting upon your arrival with our fixer. Our extensive experience speaks volumes!
Cultural Advisor
Japan presents several unpredictable challenges and restrictions during production or media projects. Our Fixers are adept communication specialists who navigate these complexities, ensuring seamless storytelling, securing permissions in advance, and providing continuous on-site support throughout your time in Japan. Many companies find it essential to have a Japan-based intermediary to liaise between them and foreign productions. Additionally, obtaining permits from public institutions often necessitates representation by a Japan-based company for foreign productions.
Language Barriers
We are aware that many visitors to Japan may recall the film "Lost in Translation." Unfortunately, Japan can still present challenges as a predominantly mono-lingual, mono-cultural nation. However, our bilingual/trilingual fixers work diligently behind the scenes to alleviate any such difficulties.
Cost Effectiveness
The majority of production companies in Japan typically charge a 15% production fee. However, at FIXERS JAPAN, we do not have this requirement. We can assemble a skilled local crew tailored to your specifications, helping you avoid additional costs. Whether you're traveling to Japan for a single interview or undertaking a larger project, our fixers can manage the entire process with a local team based on your instructions. Our services cater to the needs of major brands as well as small or independent productions. Additionally, we can serve as your remote right-hand partner in Japan.
All-In-One
If, for example, you require a fixer/translator/driver, we offer our versatile "do-it-all staff". This is a cost-effective and seamless method to streamline expenses for your production. Don't hesitate to reach out to FIXERS JAPAN for any further inquiries. We're here to help!
Flexibility
At FIXERS JAPAN, we strive to accommodate tight deadlines and tailor schedules to your specific needs and requests. While our headquarters are located in the heart of Tokyo, we can arrange services anywhere in Japan. We boast a network of professional freelance fixers in remote areas, and we're prepared to travel with you throughout the country for your production needs. Rest assured, FIXERS JAPAN is available year-round, ready to assist you anywhere in Japan.
