YouTube will open up its third Creator Space for the Asia-Pacific market in Tokyo, Japan later this Spring.
TechCrunch reported today that the new production facility will be located in the Roppongi Hills area and will feature sound stages, high-quality cameras and lighting. The center will have three production rooms, equipment facilities, screening rooms and post-production offices.
YouTube partners wishing to use the facility can start applying April 1 by going to youtube.com/space and selected partners can start using the Creator Space for free later this Spring for three months.
Last year, YouTube opened up Creator Spaces in London and Los Angeles, where selected YouTube partners can use state-of-the-art technologies to advance their content. The Creators Spaces in London, Los Angeles and Tokyo will all have spaces where content creators can premiere their works and host live events.
