How to Legally Fly a Drone in Tokyo, Japan & Avoid Fines Up to $4,500

Learn how to fly a drone legally in Tokyo, Japan, and avoid arrest or fines up to 500,000 JPY. Flying drones requires permission from the Japan Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MILT). Key rules: no flying above 150m (492ft), within 9km of airports, closer than 30m (98ft) to people/buildings/vehicles, at night, without Visual Line of Sight, over hazardous materials, dropping objects, in Tokyo's 81 public parks, or densely populated areas (4000+ people/km²) like cities, festivals, or events. More info on my website: https://www.tokyozebra.com/japan-drone. Drone laws change, so check with local authorities and MILT for updates—this isn't definitive. The MILT application has 10 parts (in Japanese; I got help from Maiko). Check my drone gear: https://kit.com/paolofromtokyo/paolo-s-drone-kit.
