Contact the Japan creator programme
To be considered for a hosted trip in Japan, apply through the form on this site — that is the only route in, and it gets you an answer within five business days. After you apply, you get a creator portal account, and every question, request and message about your trip goes through the portal.
How do I contact the Japan creator programme?
Apply through the online form for a new collaboration; once you have applied, message us in the creator portal. We do not publish an email address, so every request lands on your application's record, where the right reviewer can see it.
- New collaboration: use the application form.
- Already applied: log in to the creator portal and message the team there, so everything stays on your application's record.
- Paid campaigns or commissioned content: these are not part of this programme and are handled separately.
What should I include when I apply?
- Your primary channel and your own blog or website.
- Recent insights screenshots showing reach and audience.
- Preferred dates, with flexibility if you can offer it, and the Japan destinations you want to film.
- Recent work that shows how you would cover Japan.
Complete applications move faster. The how it works page explains what happens next and how long each step takes.
Can I ask a question before applying?
Most questions are answered on this site. The FAQ covers eligibility, inclusions, disclosure and travel; the programme page covers tiers. If your question is about your own situation, include it in your application or ask in the portal once you have applied.
What can the programme not help with?
Explera does not provide flights, visas, travel insurance or cash fees, and cannot advise on immigration. For travel-trade services in Japan, see explera.jp.
