Drone flying in Matsushima Bay and Onuma-Koen 2019/7/8 22:12
Hey Guys,

does any of you know if it is allowed to fly a Drone in Matsushima Bay (near Sendai) and/or in Onuma-quasi-national-park (Hokkaido) ?
I am already familiar with the Drone law in Japan and I checked the DJI-no-fly-zone-Geomap and the map from the japanese aviation bureau (mlit).

According to those maps it should be allowed, but I can't find videos of those spots on YouTube etc., so maybe it is prohibited. The parks in Tokyo are a no go too and Onuma-koen is a quasi-national-park.
Sadly, I can't find anything on the internet (at least in english) about it.

Maybe some of you got any experience ?
If not, should I go to the local Policestation or Tourist-Information to ask about it?


Regards
George

Hi George not sure if this helps. I did a quick search on Google "松島 drone" and a few videos came out. I would only assume if there are able to produce cinematic videos like that then yes those maps may be correct.

Good luck!

Videos online may have been done with the permission of the local authorities.

Thank you,

after a lot of research on japanese sites, it looks like both is forbidden.

Maybe I can find some other spots
