Tokyo · Osaka · Kyoto · and everywhere in between
Crowds that lose their minds. Bullet trains and ramen between soundchecks. Touring Japan is on every band's bucket list — and it can be your next tour. We make it actually happen.
Two ways in. Pick the one that sounds like you — it sets up your enquiry.
You've been invited to a festival, you know a venue, or you've self-booked dates — but you have no legal way to be sponsored and the Entertainer visa is a wall. We become your inviting organization, draw up the venue contracts, and file the COE/visa.
I need the visa & sponsorship →You've got the fans and the ambition but no venues, no contacts, no plan. We route the tour, book the venues, draft the contracts, sponsor and file the visa, and help you land on the ground. One partner, whole tour.
Plan my whole Japan tour →Start 3–4 months before your dates — the visa review alone takes 1–3 months.
Free 30 minutes. We look at your dates, your draw, your band size, and tell you honestly whether and how it can happen.
Need venues? We find and book them. Either way, we draw up all the venue contracts — held with us as your agency — exactly as immigration requires.
We act as your official inviting organization in Japan and file the Certificate of Eligibility for every member.
Visa stamped, you arrive legal and sorted — and play the shows instead of fighting paperwork.
Sweaty live houses, neon cities, quiet temple mornings on your day off. Japan gives you the shows and the trip of a lifetime.
Most options leave you doing the scary part alone. We own the outcome end-to-end.
Every tour is different, so these are "from" prices. You get a fixed quote on your call. (The government COE fee itself is ¥0 — you're paying for sponsorship, expertise, and getting it right.)

The more you tell us, the more useful the free feasibility call. No commitment, no spam — a real human in Japan reads every enquiry.
In almost all cases, yes. Paid performances generally require the Entertainer status of residence. Playing paid shows on a tourist/short-term entry is a real legal risk that can get you barred from re-entry. A Japan-based organization has to sponsor and file for you — that's the part we handle.
The COE is the document that lets the embassy issue your Entertainer visa. Crucially, it must be filed inside Japan by your sponsoring organization — you can't apply for it yourself from abroad. We act as that organization and file it for every member of your party.
Plan for 3–4 months. The immigration review of the COE alone takes roughly 1–3 months, plus document prep and 5–10 business days for the embassy to issue the visa. The sooner you talk to us, the safer your dates.
Yes — that's our Full Tour + Visa service. We find and book the venues, draw up all the contracts, sponsor you, and file the visa. You bring the music; we build the rest.
It depends on band size, number of shows, and whether you need booking. Visa Only (you have a sponsor) starts from ¥150,000 plus per-member fees; Visa & Sponsorship (we sponsor you and handle the contracts) from ¥250,000; and Full Tour + Visa (we book everything) is custom from ¥800,000+. You get a fixed quote on your free call — no surprises.
No one honestly can — it's a government decision. What we can do is prepare a strong, complete, correctly-structured application based on a case we've already gotten approved, and tell you up front if we think your situation is risky.
