“I have a performance-research project that could happen in several places. I want to show a real reason for working in Kinosaki without forcing a superficial local theme.”
A strong structure would separate what remains true anywhere from what Kinosaki changes. Name the facility, working conditions or local relationship that alters your method, then explain what you can return to the local context. Avoid decorative references. The location should change the research question, process or exchange—not only the scenery.

“I do not want to promise a large workshop before I know the participants or language needs.”
Treat the sharing format as a testable proposal, not a guaranteed audience outcome. State who it could serve, the smallest useful format, what support you would need and how it relates to the work. A studio conversation or open process can be more credible than an oversized workshop if the call permits it.

“Accommodation appears to be available, but I cannot tell what travel, food, materials and local transport would cost me.”
Build the decision from uncovered costs, not the headline benefit. Ask the organiser to confirm accommodation charges, minimum stay, studio access and any required public activity. Then price return travel, insurance, food, local transport, materials and lost income. Apply only if the programme-specific benefit still justifies that full amount.

“I want to propose a credible exchange without promising a large audience or activity I cannot deliver in an unfamiliar city.”
Match the exchange to your method and the residency period. Define the smallest useful format, who it is for, what support or interpretation it needs and what participants receive. A focused open rehearsal or process conversation can be more credible than a large workshop if it meets the organiser’s current requirements.

“The archive suggests a Tokyo-based residency, but my draft still reads like a generic Japan proposal.”
Replace broad cultural claims with a research map: specific archives, practitioners, neighbourhood conditions or production resources that are relevant to the work. Each reference should answer what you will do, with whom, and why that cannot be achieved remotely.
