The Kobe Film Office is a local location filming coordination agency officially established by Kobe City, Japan, more commonly known as a film commission. Founded in 2000, its core goal is to attract film and television production teams to shoot on location in Kobe, and boost the development of local culture and tourism.
Its core services cover the full preparatory process for location filming: providing recommendation and consultation for local shooting locations in Kobe, handling permit applications for filming on public areas on behalf of production teams, and streamlining multi-department approval processes; connecting production teams with full industrial chain local service providers covering everything from equipment rental, set construction, transportation and catering to cast and crew support; it has also built a volunteer registration system that can provide extras and volunteer staff for production crews; for qualified commercial projects, it also offers subsidies for location scouting costs and fee waivers for public location use. At the same time, the website hosts an official 4K live-shot footage library of landscapes across multiple locations in Kobe, for production teams to reference during pre-shooting scouting.
The platform's advantages are very clear: as an official agency, it integrates all categories of filming resources in Kobe from equipment to labor, so production teams do not need to contact service providers one by one, greatly reducing communication costs for cross-regional filming; it provides tangible fee reductions for projects that meet Kobe's cultural tourism promotion requirements, which effectively controls production costs; after more than 20 years of operation, it has assisted filming for multiple commercial productions including Netflix series, with mature, stable service processes.
Its disadvantage is that its service scope is limited: it explicitly does not provide support for non-commercial private shoots such as personal wedding photography or cosplay shoots, and all services are only available to formal commercial film and television production projects.
This website is a Japanese public service website, and it is currently directly accessible to users in China without the use of a proxy. All content is in Japanese, so it is suitable for teams with Japanese language proficiency to coordinate through this platform. Overall, this platform is an excellent option for commercial film and television production teams planning to shoot on location in Japan's Kansai region.
