The Japanese filming situation is both famous and infamous. While the sights are spectacular, not everything is necessarily easy to shoot. Many a time does a Hollywood film crew land in Japan shocked to discover that the location they spotted on a random photographer’s Instagram isn’t film-crew-friendly for any budget.
That’s where we come in. Rakufilm is more than experienced in the unique genre of “V-cinema.”
The gritty backalleys teeming with yakuza? The car chases and geisha dances? The samurai battles on a rocky cliff? Frustrating scenes all have handshakes and workarounds
that V-cinema-raised crew like ours are more than familiar with.
In addition to the Japanesque temples, wooden alleyways and modern cityscapes, we also feature a surprising variety of natural landscapes. From mountains to deserts, sandy beaches and dense jungles are all part of the Japanese filming experience.

In addition to the great locations, the unique artisan culture of Japan needs very little introduction.
From festivals to performers, if you’re looking to get that specific shot of the Japanesque,
we can get you the introduction you need to show your audience the real deal.
