A. We work either on commission or for a flat fee, depending on the size and type of job.

A. You tell us your project and your budget, we locate and liaise with Japanese companies who can service your needs. We then provide on site facilitation to "glue" everything together and to make sure that things go to plan. For lights / grip / make-up we work through a local Japanese production company.

A. Most of our work is done in and around northern Kyushu (Fukuoka, Kitakyushu, Saga, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Oita). We are willing to travel further afield - it depends entirely on the job.

A. No. We are a private company and we deal with our clients on commercial terms.

A. You tell your interpreter your problem, s/he translates it into Japanese. You tell a facilitator your problem, s/he helps you solve it. Some interpreters MAY be prepared to do more than interpret - but many have quite firm ideas about the limits of their job...

A. Tokyo, like all capital cities, is a "different country" to the rest of Japan and is generally a far easier environment in which to work. There are probably Tokyo based people better able to help you than we are. That said, if you really want us to...

A. Kabuki and Sumo - we don't have any special access to tickets. For Noh Theatre (Theater), we can possibly arrange tickets in Fukuoka.

A. We are not a travel agent - we can't "book hotels". However, if you are travelling to somewhere out-of-the way and need accommodation, we can certainly help you find somewhere decent to stay, as part of other work for you.

A. We have had only good reports from clients about ALL the major Fukuoka hotels. Clients have spoken particularly highly of JAL Seahawk and we have had a good experience working with them.

A. No - our choice of companies to work with depends entirely on the needs of the client. Of course if we have worked with a particular Japanese company before we will use them again if appropriate. In general they will bill you for their services, we will bill you a facilitation fee. Naturally, we are on hand to ensure that things go smoothly and that you are billed fairly and reasonably.
