🚨 The Common Struggles Foreign Creators Face in Japan
Booking a rental photo or video studio in Japan isn’t always straightforward—especially if you’re not fluent in Japanese. Many foreign creators find themselves overwhelmed by Japanese-only websites, confusing payment systems, or unclear equipment availability. 😩
That’s why understanding the process and finding the right studio in Osaka—particularly near convenient hubs like Nishi-Nakajima Minamigata Station or Shin-Osaka—is essential for a smooth and successful shoot.
💡 My First-Hand Experience as a Creator in Osaka
As a foreign videographer who moved to Osaka in 2022, I vividly remember my first attempt to book a studio. I needed a space for a portrait shoot with soft natural light and professional lighting setups. After endless searches and translation apps, I finally found a space in 西中島 (Nishi-Nakajima) that ticked all the boxes: natural light, background paper, and video streaming support. 🌈
