Service Overview
For foreigners, if they could fly a drone and take pictures in Japan, it would greatly expand their range of enjoyment and work.
However, it is also true that many people give up on flying drones because Japan’s aviation and other laws are difficult to understand.
To solve this problem, we offer a free evaluation service to determine whether a drone flight permit is required and the possibility of obtaining a permit, depending on the customer’s circumstances and flight plan. Please feel free to fill out and submit the form and we will respond via email.
Drone laws in Japan are more complicated than those in other countries, but it’s not that difficult to get a permit. We are experts in handling drone flight applications, so we can provide a good result for you.
We offer an application agency service to customers who wish to have us handle the troublesome application procedure on their behalf when a permit is required. This is an affordable service, and you can also request it in English, so please feel free to contact us.
We look forward to hearing from you.
